Technische Hochschule Rosenheim

What Technische Hochschule Rosenheim does

Technische Hochschule Rosenheim (TH Rosenheim) is a public German university of applied sciences (Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften) headquartered in Rosenheim, Bavaria, with the legal status of a state institution under Bavarian higher education law. Founded in 1925 as a private Holztechnikum (woodworking technical school), it was re-established as Fachhochschule Rosenheim in 1971 and elevated to Technische Hochschule in 2018. Across four campuses — Rosenheim (main), Burghausen, Chiemgau (Traunstein and Ruhpolding), and Mühldorf am Inn — the institution delivers more than 50 practice-oriented Bachelor and Master degree programs organized through 10 faculties covering Technology, Business, Design, Health, and Social Sciences, supported by over 100 workshops and laboratories.

The institution's core operational technology consists of standard higher-education digital platforms — a Learning Campus LMS, an institutional Dashboard, an Online-Service-Center (OSC) for admissions and student services, and an Outlook Webapp — used by students and staff across all four campuses. TH Rosenheim operates as a state-funded public institution, with revenue derived primarily from Bavarian state budget allocations rather than tuition (which is regulated under Bavarian law with nominal semester contribution fees). Its go-to-market motion is direct-to-student via the institution's website, online information events, campus visits, and the OSC application portal, while also engaging regional companies, Mittelstand firms, and applied research partners through continuing education and project-based collaborations.

TH Rosenheim is a member of the DIVERSE European University Alliance (12 universities across 11 countries) and partners with the Hightech Agenda Bayern initiative. In 2025, it received doctoral conferral rights (Promotionsrecht) for its Advanced Building Technologies research area and began construction of a new technology park and student center, marking a transition from a teaching-oriented Fachhochschule toward an increasingly research-active Technische Hochschule. The institution maintains a dedicated Gründungszentrum for entrepreneurship support and a 2024-founded Campus Burghausen support association with corporate memberships starting at €150/year.
