About Our University
Architecture and Urbanism, Civil and Environmental Engineering , Art and Design, and Media – the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar's four faculties give it a profile that is unique in Germany. There are currently nearly 40 degree programmes offered, including Freie Kunst, Design, Visuelle Kommunikation (Visual Communication), Media Design, Computer Science, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Building Material Science and the Environment, and Management. The term »Bauhaus« in the name of our university stands for experimentation, openness, creativity, and internationality.
The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar defines itself as an open-minded space for encounters, creation, and reflection; it is a laboratory for the present, dedicated to technological, environmental, and social transformation, new knowledge and its application in close cooperation with businesses, the community, academia and education, culture, and politics.

At the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, education takes place predominantly through project-based programmes centred on real-world tasks. In-depth discussions with professors, fellow students, and staff in the workshops and laboratories make up a key part of this. There is a strong focus on experimentation and everyday student life typically takes place in workrooms, studios, and lecture halls.
