Fakultät Informatik - Hochschule Reutlingen

What Fakultät Informatik - Hochschule Reutlingen does

Fakultät Informatik is the computer science faculty of Hochschule Reutlingen, a public university structured as a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The faculty operates from two campuses: the main site at Alteburgstraße 150 in Reutlingen and the Herman Hollerith Zentrum (HHZ) at Böblingen, with the HHZ housing the Digital Business Bachelor and Digital Business Engineering Master programs. It delivers ASIIN-accredited Bachelor programs in Wirtschaftsinformatik (Business Informatics), Medien- und Kommunikationsinformatik, Medizinisch-Technische Informatik, and Digital Business, plus Master programs in Human-Centered Computing, Wirtschaftsinformatik, Digital Business Engineering, and Interdisziplinäre Produktentwicklung. Part-time professional Master programs in Digital Business Management, Digitalization & Sustainability, and Professional Software Engineering are offered in cooperation with the Knowledge Foundation der Hochschule Reutlingen for working professionals. The Bachelor+ (Reutlinger Modell) pathway combines vocational training with a university degree.

The faculty's research infrastructure comprises an unusually broad set of specialized laboratories for a CS department: AI-Reallabor AIDA, Ambient Assisted Living Laboratory (Building 20), Cloud Lab, IoT Lab, Data Management Lab, Virtual Reality Lab, Motion Capture Studio, Filmstudio and Media Suites, a Lehr- und Forschungs Operationssaal (teaching/research operating room), Management Cockpit, Digital Art Lab, and Tonstudio. Research is organized around the Forschungszentren Angewandte Künstliche Intelligenz and Computerassistierte Medizin, plus the Cognitive Systems research group, with active grants including AIDA, ANUKI, DEGAM-ForNet, DIIC, HoloDEC, INCAP, LiveDigit, MoMu, TeleDerm, and VRehago. Technology transfer and applied research emphasize explainable AI for sleep diagnostics, wearables, ambient assisted living, and digital health. Recent accolades include StudyCheck 2026 TOP Hochschule (Top 10 in Germany, 2nd in Baden-Württemberg), 3rd place in the medium-sized Category Award, and top CHE 2026 ratings (4.5/5 for study supervision, 4.3/5 for labs).

Revenue mechanics follow the German public-university model: MWK state funding for education and research, third-party research grants from public and private sponsors, modest semester contributions in lieu of tuition, and recurring fee revenue from Knowledge Foundation continuing-education programs. Marketing is primarily direct-to-consumer via the official website (inf.reutlingen-university.de), the Hochschulinformationsportal (HIP) and HisinOne application portals, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch), and participation in education fairs. Customer concentration is naturally low given the individual-student enrolment model; industry exposure is generated through recruiting partnerships and research-industry collaboration rather than B2B contracts.
