What FOS/BOS Rosenheim does

FOS/BOS Rosenheim (Berufliche Oberschule Rosenheim) is a public Bavarian vocational upper secondary school located in Rosenheim, Germany. It operates under the Freistaat Bayern (Free State of Bavaria) and is overseen by the Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus (Bavarian State Ministry for Education). The institution delivers two parallel academic programs: the Fachoberschule (FOS) covering grades 11-12, and the Berufsoberschule (BOS) covering grades 12-13, each offered across four academic strands including a newly introduced Wirtschaft (Business) track. It also operates a Telekolleg / kolleg24 distance-learning program targeted at working adults.

The school's technology infrastructure is built on mainstream education-sector platforms rather than proprietary systems: Microsoft 365 and Teams for collaboration and learning management, WebUntis for scheduling and timetabling, interactive whiteboards in classrooms, and SAP4school for applied business and economics instruction. The institution holds the designation of Profilschule für Informatik und Zukunftstechnologien (Profile School for Computer Science and Future Technologies), one of only 50 such designated schools across Bavaria, signalling institutional prioritisation of digital literacy and forward-looking technical curricula.

The institution operates as a state-funded public educational body with no tuition fees and generates no commercial revenue. All operating funding is allocated through the Bavarian state education budget. Governance is led by Rektorin Sieß as head of institution, with Michaela Angerer responsible for the Telekolleg program. The student body consists of secondary-level learners pursuing either the Fachhochschulreife (vocational baccalaureate) or fachgebundene/allgemeine Hochschulreife (subject-restricted or general university entrance qualification).

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Telekolleg Bayern (Bayerischer Rundfunk): The statewide adult-distance-learning brand under which FOS/BOS Rosenheim delivers Telekolleg II. Comparable as a parallel continuing-education channel for adult learners pursuing Mittlere Reife or Fachhochschulreife.
• Fachhochschulen (e.g. Technische Hochschule Rosenheim): The natural downstream destination for FOS/BOS graduates, and an active cooperation partner. While delivering a different credential (bachelor's degrees), TH Rosenheim competes for the same regional student pipeline and shares curriculum alignment.

Direct peers

• Other Bavarian FOS/BOS schools (e.g. FOSBOS München, FOSBOS Regensburg, FOSBOS Würzburg): State-run Bavarian vocational upper-secondary schools offering the same FOS/BOS credentials across four strands. They compete directly with FOS/BOS Rosenheim for students across Bavaria and share the same Profilschule/MINT recognition tracks.
• Berufliches Schulzentrum (vocational school centers) across Bavaria: Public German vocational secondary schools offering similar upper-secondary credentialing pathways and integrating enterprise software/apprenticeship models. Comparable in mission, regulatory framework, and student demographic.

Others

• Malteser (Germany): Social-services partner providing the nursing/care course for FOS Sozialwesen students. Comparable as an adjacent vocational training and continuing-education provider in the social-services space.
• SAP4school: A program/partner enabling the school to integrate SAP enterprise software into the curriculum. Related as an enabling education-technology partner rather than a competitor.
