About
History
The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (BUW) is a university located in Weimar, Germany and specializes in the artistic and technical fields. Established in 1860 as the Great Ducal Saxon Art School, it gained collegiate status on 3 June 1910 and received its present name in 1996.
Education
Today the University offers an extensive spectrum of instruction with over 30 courses of study, including free art, design, web design, visual communication, media design, media culture, architecture, civil engineering, materials science, processing technology, environment and management. The term Bauhaus stands for an eagerness to experiment, openness, creativity, a close link to industrial practice and internationality. The goal is to get science, art and technology working together analytically, creatively and innovatively on the planning, construction and design of current and future spaces of habitation.
Research
The research activities at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar are diverse, international and interdisciplinary. The unique university profile is strongly rooted in the Bauhaus tradition which interconnects technical, scientific and creative-artistic endeavours. In addition to successively promoting the research areas “Digital Engineering” and “Cultural Scientific Media Research”, the university supports other research fields, such as “City, Architecture and Environment”, “Material and Construction” and “Art, Design and Media Art”, all of which play an important identity-building role.
Career

You can obtain the e-mail addresses of your fellow Bauhaus students at the International Office.Library services
