With around 6,600 students from 70 nations, our university is one of the largest universities for applied sciences in Bavarian Swabia. Teaching and learning are embedded in a climate of tolerance, mutual respect and openness to the latest developments in research and technology. With us, the focus is on the whole person. During their studies, our students not only acquire specialist knowledge. At least as important is the acquisition of social skills that strengthen them in the development of their personality. Our mission is to develop students into personalities who are in demand in business and society. We want to achieve this goal with team orientation, commitment, creativity and practical relevance.

The city of Augsburg is rich in tradition and culture. With more than 2000 years of history, it has a lot to offer - from the Romans to the textile industry. The father of the musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born here, Bertolt Brecht attended high school in Augsburg and wrote his "Baal". The religious peace of Augsburg in 1555 had a decisive influence on the city's understanding of peace. Numerous water towers, the hydroelectric power station at the Wolfzahnau or the hydroelectric power station at the Hochablass bear witness to a long tradition of hydraulic engineering in the city.
