Opportunities for Collaboration with the THA
Application-oriented research and development is the driving force behind the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg. That is why we have been working closely with companies in the Bavarian Swabia region for many years. This not only ensures that our educational programs are relevant to real-world practice, but also supports innovation processes at our partner companies, which often lack their own research infrastructure.

Some research questions can be addressed more effectively, with greater efficiency, and with a stronger focus on practical application when worked on collaboratively—with partners from industry and academia.
To help you fully realize your innovation potential and ensure we always stay at the cutting edge, we at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg initiate and carry out various collaborative research projects—some of which are publicly funded—with one or more partners.
The focus here is on scientific collaboration between the THA and its equal partners, based on mutual benefit.
Turn your specific research topic into a study project!
The “Master of Applied Research” (MAPR) research and project-based master’s program offers your company the opportunity to have a MAPR student work exclusively for you on a research topic over a period of three semesters.
Overview of the program:
- Students are hired by the university to work on the project
- Supervision is provided directly by a THA professor with expertise related to the research topic
- The collaboration is formalized in an R&D contract between the company and the university
