Research
Research is multi-layered and multi-dimensional. It is indispensable for securing our prosperity and coexistence and is of great importance, which is also reflected in the ideal of self-administration and the freedom of research enshrined in constitutional law.
For this reason, research topics at Landshut University of Applied Sciences are also defined according to the bottom-up principle. Many researchers have joined forces in interdisciplinary and cross-faculty research areas, which are an important element of the university's strategic orientation.

Organisation of research
Scientific career opportunities
In order to support students interested in pursuing a doctorate, Landshut University of Applied Sciences offers research-oriented project modules in many Master's degree programmes. The cross-faculty and cross-university Master's degree programme Applied Research in Engineering Science plays a particularly important role here.
After completing a degree programme, students can gain or deepen their experience in the world of research by working on a research project. This can also be used to work towards a doctorate.
Since 2023, universities of applied sciences in Bavaria have also had the right to award doctorates, meaning that in addition to cooperative doctorates with a university, doctorates can also be awarded directly at the university's graduate centre.
For people with a particular interest in research and teaching, the junior professorship is also an opportunity to embark on or pursue an academic career.
