OTH Regensburg offers its students a wide range of subjects specialising in technology and business, computer science and mathematics, social sciences and health, architecture and design. There is a particular focus on technical courses – almost 70 per cent of students are enrolled in mathematics, natural sciences and engineering subjects.
The profile of the newly created Master’s degree programme in Design, which starts in the winter semester 2025/2026, is based on an international professional profile that places design practice in an interdisciplinary context between technology and society, theory and practice, experiment and application, consumption and criticism, innovation and provocation as well as problem-solving and problem-finding. In critical reflection of social, cultural, scientific, technological and sustainable conditions and challenges, holistic design strategies are the focus of the programme.
Faculty of Architecture
With 6 degree programmes, 12 international partner universities and 10 well-equipped laboratories, the Faculty of Architecture at OTH Regensburg offers an ideal basis for successful studies. Students can study architecture, industrial design or building climatology in the Bachelor’s programme or deepen their studies and research work in one of the Master’s programmes such as historical building research, architecture or design.
Study programmes
Bachelor Industrial Design
The Bachelor’s degree course in Industrial Design offers a holistic, non-specialised basic design course that builds on technical principles and incorporates references to architecture. The Regensburg model is characterised by the special combination of typical offerings of a polytechnic with features of an art college. A specific combination of acquired knowledge and practised creativity enables students to pursue a profession that is subject to continuous change. The curricular structure of the Bachelor’s degree programme in Industrial Design is based on the division into four module areas: design, theory, technology and electives.
