Top Themes - 2013
Learning by doing
Get a taste of work for a whole semester: With the work placement, you can hardly get any closer to real working life. And while it is an important goal of UASs to qualify their students by preparing them for their selected professions, a work placement is an integrated element of education in the full-time study programmes for one semester (or at least three months).
World-wide Network
Anyone who not only privately but also professionally would like to explore the world is in the right place at Austrian Universities of Applied Sciences. One of the tasks of UASs is to prepare their students for the global market.
Studying According to the Building Block System
The majority of all fields of study at Universities of Applied Sciences and traditional universities offer study programmes in alignment with the "Bologna System": Bachelor – Master – PhD.
Women & Engineering – Brand new solutions
“That’s not the right thing for girls. You don’t need to do something that difficult! And you’ll certainly get dirty, too!” When the talk is about engineering, society still has a number of prejudices and unchallenged clichés. Girls who decide to pursue studies in a technical field often still have to justify their choice.
Promising Start to one’s Career
UAS graduates not only easily find a job after their studies, they also earn well. Is this really true? The latter has been proven by a study of the International Centre for Higher Education Research of the University of Kassel for the German-speaking region.
Research & Development – Implementing innovations
Application-oriented and practical – that is how research at UASs can be described. Scientific work flows directly into a new product, an improved service or is further optimised by research for practical use in the industry. Universities of Applied Sciences cooperate closely in this area with businesses in the region.
