Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences

The Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences is one of the country’s field leaders. We offer internationally recognised, practice-oriented degree programmes at four locations in the central region of Upper Austria. In line with our commitment to developing international links, we maintain contacts with some 200 partner universities around the world. Our second major area of focus is the national economy, and our research and development centres are continually developing cuttingedge products across a wide range of practical applications. This solid combination of theory and praxis has earned the University an acclaimed reputation both regionally and nationally.

Heartbeat of educational excellence The University’s successful development has been based on a dynamic approach to innovation and close co-operation with industry. Monitoring economic trends and technical advances has ensured that we have kept pace with changes in the wider economy, especially with regard to labour market requirements and productivity wth areas. Each of the University’s four Schools has defined its own key areas for best practice in teaching and research:

>> Informatics, Communications and Media
>> Applied Health and Social Sciences
>> Management
>> Engineering and Environmental Sciences

Visionary blend of theory and the practical The appeal of studying applied sciences here in Upper Austria is the University’s unique blend of broad-based specialist theory and intensely practical applications. Fundamental to this curriculum strategy is the input from private sector companies and organisations across the full range of our degree programmes at all levels:

>> Study projects with companies/organisations
>> Practical placements or internships
>> Master’s Theses
>> Projects in research and development

Co-operating with private sector partners beyond the confines of the University provides invaluable access to real-world know-how and resources that has invariably led to the development of new projects and provided opportunities for creative interface with potential new partners. Our record of more than 1,000 such collaborative ventures at home and abroad speaks for itself.
