The Faculty of Architecture offers integrated teaching in the Bachelor's degree courses in Architecture, Building Climate Control and Industrial Design, which are linked by common teaching modules. The focus is on testing space, objects, materials and climate from ecological, social and aesthetic points of view. The aim is to prepare students for the challenges of climate neutrality. Research and practice are closely interlinked, in particular through projects involving reuse and recycling in architecture.

The Master's degree programmes are characterised by an integral and future-oriented teaching strategy. The focus on space, objects, materials and climate promotes a comprehensive, interdisciplinary perspective. Equally, ecological and aesthetic aspects are emphasised, as are social, political and technological dimensions. The education focuses on sustainable solutions and circular economy, with a new emphasis on climate neutrality. Innovative teaching methods and digital tools prepare students for the complex challenges of the future.

The Faculty of Architecture at Regensburg University of Applied Sciences (OTH) launched an internationalisation strategy for all degree courses in the 2016/17 academic year. The faculty promotes the reciprocal exchange of students with leading universities worldwide. Successful examples include student exchanges with the University of Johannesburg and PUC Minas as part of DAAD-ISAP projects. The faculty also has contacts in universities in Sweden, Norway, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. The aim is to discover new cultures and to build a network with similar European schools of architecture.

The Faculty of Architecture at Regensburg University of Applied Sciences (OTH) has modern workshops and laboratories. The CyberCraft Lab combines digital and manual techniques and experiments with AI, VR and robotics. Other laboratories include 3D modelling, BIM and building simulations. Wood, metal, printing, ceramics and photo workshops as well as a Fab Lab with 4D printers and laser cutters support practical work. The Art and Colour Lab promotes creative development. The Friedrich Mielke Institute for Scalalogy conducts scientific research on stairs and plays an important role in teaching and research.

Close cooperation with universities and research institutes expands the portfolio of projects with student participation. As part of the Master's degree programme, students can actively participate in research projects and teaching research collaborations in Germany and abroad. This introduces students to academic research. The spectrum ranges from archaeological excavations to memorial sites such as the former Flossenbürg concentration camp for intensive study of large post-war settlements as well as theoretical study of design methodology as an independent subject area.

Numerous international students are enrolled in the specialised degree programmes, who contribute to the diversity of the faculty. International research partnerships and exchange programmes broaden students' horizons. On the teaching side, the equal numbers of male and female staff of a variety of nationalities show the diversity of the faculty. In all teaching and research activities, the focus is on sustainability in architecture, e.g. climate-friendly building materials or structural building protection, especially the redevelopment of existing buildings.
