Although the professors and students come from all over Germany, it is characterised by a strong regional focus. A large proportion of the clergy, pastoral staff and religious education teachers in Bavarian Swabia were trained in Augsburg. Lecturers from the faculty are involved in the further training of the aforementioned professional groups. Through conferences (such as in 2015 on the Second Vatican Council or in 2018 on Cajetan's encounter with Luther), concerns of the region and the diocese are taken up. The faculty strives for good ecumenical relations with the separated churches represented in Augsburg.
