Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (Bauhaus Dessau consortium) is a public institution located in Dessau-Roßlau, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, participating in the Bauhaus Dessau consortium that connects higher education, cultural heritage, and applied research. The university maintains partnerships with the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, European cultural institutions, and regional industry clusters, integrating practice-oriented programs with the historical legacy of the Bauhaus school and the architectural patrimony of Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
The institution traces roots to post-reunification higher education reforms in Germany and institutional consolidations involving the Technical College of Köthen and the Bernburg campus, referencing administrative precedents under the State of Saxony-Anhalt, the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt, and policies influenced by the German Rectors' Conference and the Kultusministerkonferenz. Throughout its evolution the university engaged with figures and movements such as the Bauhaus revival, the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm conservation efforts, and European Union regional funding programs like the European Regional Development Fund and Erasmus, while interacting with organizations including the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
The Dessau campus occupies sites near the UNESCO World Heritage Bauhaus buildings, the Bauhaus Museum Dessau, and the Masters' Houses complex, sharing proximity with landmarks associated with Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Wassily Kandinsky. Facilities include studios and workshops equipped for architecture and design practice, research laboratories aligned with Fraunhofer institutes and Leibniz Association laboratories, libraries with collections that reference the German National Library and holdings tied to Bauhaus archives, and student housing coordinated with the Studentenwerk and municipal planning authorities of Dessau-Roßlau and the state capital Magdeburg.
The university is organized into faculties and departments that mirror vocational and applied focuses, with administrative governance influenced by statutes akin to those of other Fachhochschulen, oversight by senates and rectorates, and participation in accreditation processes administered by the Akkreditierungsrat and European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education. Academic leadership collaborates with industrial advisory boards, chambers such as the Industrie- und Handelskammer, and networks including the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research and the Association of German Universities of Applied Sciences.
As a formal partner in the Bauhaus Dessau consortium the university engages with the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, and cultural institutions such as the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten, the Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz, and the International Council on Monuments and Sites. Collaborative initiatives tie to exhibitions at the Bauhaus Museum Dessau, research projects referencing the Ulm School of Design legacy, and pedagogical exchanges invoking figures like Josef Albers, Paul Klee, and László Moholy-Nagy, while coordinating with UNESCO committees and European cultural programmes.
Research activities span architecture, urban design, renewable energy applications, and media technology, frequently partnering with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft institutes, Helmholtz Centre collaborations, and regional SMEs in the Mitteldeutschland cluster; projects have secured funding from the European Commission Horizon programmes, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and state research initiatives. Collaborative outputs reference interdisciplinary dialogues with institutions such as the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the Technical University of Berlin, the University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and industry partners including Bosch, Siemens, and BASF, while engaging networks like the European Institute of Innovation and Technology and EIT Urban Mobility.
The university offers applied programs in Architecture, Industrial Design, Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Engineering, Business Administration, Social Work, and Media Arts, aligning curricula with accreditation frameworks from the Bologna Process and professional bodies such as the Chamber of Architects and engineering licensure authorities. Degree offerings include Bachelor and Master programmes that facilitate exchange via Erasmus+ and partnerships with institutions like the Politecnico di Milano, TU Delft, ETH Zurich, and the Royal College of Art, and training modules referencing methodologies from figures like Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier in studio pedagogy.
Student life integrates cultural engagement with the Bauhaus legacy through exhibitions, workshops, and collaborations with the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, the Anhaltische Philharmonie, and city festivals supported by the Deutsches Kulturforum. Student organizations, sports clubs, and project groups coordinate with the Studentenwerk Halle, local enterprises, and international student networks including ESN and IAESTE, while alumni maintain links to professional associations such as the Bund Deutscher Architektinnen und Architekten and Verband Deutscher Industrial Designer.
