The building physics degree at the HFT-Stuttgart aims to train specialised engineers for the whole field of building physics. The degree's close links with architecture and civil engineering ensures that building physics is an integral part of the planning and execution process. Building physics is not only physics applied to structures and buildings, it also covers technical acoustics, the integration of regenerative energy concepts for the protection of the environment as well as sound emission control.

The Master's degree programme in Building Physics is a cooperative master's degree programme between the Degree Programmes in Building Physics and Climate Engineering at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences (HFT) in external cooperation with the degree programmes in Energy and Building Technology, Timber Construction and Extension and Interior Design at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences (THRo). The master's degree combines theoretical and applied building physics.

Some students spend their practical semester abroad. The professors of the degree course support this through their personal contacts.

The Building Physics programme at the HFT Stuttgart has its own laboratory building with various test facilities and experimental set-ups whose concepts and sound engineering designs were developed by the students themselves. The acoustic testing facilities are state-of-the-art and among the most modern in Europe. The building acoustics research field this has unique building acoustic testing and research facilities at its disposal.

The researchers usually work on an interdisciplinary basis in the focus area of building research. For example, the Centre for Acoustic and Thermal Building Physics brings together both research projects in building acoustics and sound insulation and projects with a focus on innovative building materials. With the Centre for Building Physics in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, the research focus on building acoustics and sound insulation has testing and research facilities for building acoustics that are unique in the university sector.

Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences (HFT) aims to help its students develop into qualified, responsible and independent individuals. In addition to imparting specialist knowledge, the strengthening of methodological, social and practical skills therefore plays an important role. The university is committed to fulfilling its educational mission in all layers of society and stands for advancement through education and accessibility. It sees differences in life experiences and backgrounds as an asset.
