Welcome to Hochschule Anhalt, one of the country’s leading research universities. Located in the heart of Central Germany as an innovative university it provides international top ranking research and teaching as well as the best quality of study and life. Hochschule Anhalt offers more than 80 degree programs to create individual freedom for personalities to develop and prepares some 7,000 German and international students for one key goal: A successful career start.

In Dessau, the city of the Bauhaus, we are approaching complex demands arising from a rapidly changing world with progressive design solutions. Our model of integrated design is in the tradition of the avantgarde. Here the different design disciplines act in concert in order to approach fundamental questions and holistically effective interventions.

At the School of Design, we see research as an integrated field for experimentation that is unifying multiple and diverse themes in exploration. Using the tools of design research, we study processes, spaces, materials and data, as well as their connections, intersections, and touchpoints. Currently, we are conducting research around the following thematic clusters:

To support above mentioned research fields, we are looking to fill the position of a

The Anhalt University of Applied Sciences dedicates particular importance to high-quality teaching, which not only conveys practice-related expert knowledge, but also motivates students to actively engage during their studies.
