The Institute Burghausen is a regional site that forms part of the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences  and lies within Bavaria's "chemical triangle". The site was opened on 1 October 2016. The university campus is known primarily for its interdisciplinary approach, encompassing elements of natural sciences, technology and business economics.

History
The Campus Burghausen was opened for the 2016/17 winter semester, when it offered three courses. In January 2020, the Bavarian Minister for Sciences, Research and the Arts, Bernd Sibler, opened the new "B" building with its Audimax auditorium kitted out to the latest standards. For the 2020/21 winter semester, the offering is to be expanded to include a course in environmental technology. The development of the concept has largely been guided by an advisory committee, which consists of representatives from the following:


 * AlzChem AG
 * BBiW (Berufsbildungswerk Burghausen, a vocational training institute)
 * Bit Gendorf, Bildungsakademie Inn-Salzach Technologiezentrum Gendorf GmbH, a vocational training academy
 * ChemDelta Bavaria, a joint initiative by the companies in the Bavarian “chemical triangle”
 * Clariant Produkte Deutschland GmbH
 * DRÄXLMAIER Group
 * Finze & Wagner Holding GmbH
 * Infraserv GmbH & Co Gendorf AG
 * Kiefel GmbH
 * KRAIBURG TPE GmbH & Co. KG
 * OMV Deutschland
 * City of Burghausen
 * Technical University of Munich, TUM
 * Videographics Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH
 * Wacker Chemie AG
 * W.L. Gore & Associates
 * Economic Chamber of Upper Austria

Faculties and courses
The courses offered at the Campus Burghausen are supported in various ways by the regional chemical industry, and the university location is notable for its close integration of scientific theory with industrial practice. For all the courses offered, students can choose to follow a dual programme combining study and work. Thanks to its many partner universities, Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences is able to offer students the option of a semester or work placement abroad at any time. All courses involve an interdisciplinary approach and are aligned with the latest demands of industry and digitisation.
