Anhalt University of Applied Sciences

The university is located close to the Bauhaus on a small campus right outside the main train station. Workshops, a cafeteria, studios, and lecture halls as well as seminar rooms are equipped with up-to-date technology.

University location

The Bauhaus Dessau is embedded in parks of classicism. It is a small town with plenty of green spaces. Larger cities such as Berlin, Magdeburg, Halle, and Leipzig are located just an hour's train ride away. The state of Saxony-Anhalt, where the city is located, is rich in cultural heritage-protected sites of all periods of construction.
