The Bauhaus University Weimar, an international institution based in the cultural city of Weimar, builds on the historical legacy of the State Bauhaus, founded in its main building in 1919. This influential design school of the 20th century revolutionized education by combining art, technology, and science, profoundly shaping the modern living environment. Since its renaming in 1996, the university has been known as Bauhaus University Weimar and continues the tradition of innovation by engaging with current issues in art, culture, technology, science, and society.

The university comprises four faculties: Architecture and Urbanism, Civil Engineering, Art and Design, and Media. These faculties are characterized by a spirit of experimentation, excellence, and transdisciplinary approaches in research and teaching. Bauhaus University Weimar offers a vibrant campus atmosphere with 4,116 students (including doctoral students) and 44 degree programs, with 27% of students coming from abroad. The international orientation is supported by partnerships with over 200 universities worldwide and more than 500 exchange opportunities.

The university is actively involved in critically reflecting on the historical Bauhaus and its impact history, which is an essential part of the progress history of the last 100 years. In addition to teaching and research, the university also offers a variety of projects and collaborations that promote the exchange between theory and practice.

The university's offerings are complemented by the WBA | Bauhaus Weiterbildungsakademie Weimar e.V., which has been developing part-time degree programs, seminars, and international further education courses since 1995. The WBA primarily targets architects, engineers, and related professional groups, offering innovative educational programs that are practice-oriented and scientifically based.
