Students can use computers with software (including SPSS, MAXQDA, GrafStat) and borrowable tablets. Every lecture hall is equipped with technology for hybrid teaching and presentation material. There is also an interactive board and a 3D printer. There is also a photo studio, music rooms and a music/media recording studio (One Button), a (sports) hall for social educational exercises and a creative workshop (for working with ceramics, wood, etc.).

The Benediktbeuern campus is part of a listed monastery that was founded by the Benedictines over a millennium ago and is now managed by Don Bosco's Salesians. It is a lively place with numerous attractive facilities that brings together creative and charismatic people of different generations. Against the background of a Christian-shaped image of people and society, emphasis is placed on successful theory-practice transfer as well as structurally anchored and active student participation in the courses.
