PREFACE & Introduction
Preface
With this brochure we would like to illustrate the wide
variety of study options in Austria. The higher education location Austria unites three very important
aspects: a great number of high quality tertiary education institutions in all nine federal provinces, a long
academic tradition and an open-minded atmosphere
for creativity and innovation. In many areas the
Austrian institutions have accomplished outstanding
achievements on an international level and gained
high reputation. But it will only be through a co-operation of all four areas of the higher education sector –
universities, private universities, universities of applied
sciences, and university colleges of teacher education
– with their respective tasks that the international
competitiveness of Austria can be guaranteed.
The brochure “Higher Education Institutions in
Austria” is an overview of universities, universities of
applied sciences, private universities and university
colleges of teacher education. By means of short
4
presentations, contact addresses and references we
endeavour to provide an overview of the Austrian
higher education system for all those who are interested in studying or pursuing research in Austria or
getting in contact with one of these institutions. We
would like to use this opportunity to thank all institutions and people who contributed with their great
commitment to the making of this brochure.
Information about study options in Austria can be
found in our “Study Programmes. A brief Guide for
International Students”, where you will also find
important practical and legal information (entry and
residence requirements, living costs, accommodation,
lists of the fields of study, etc.) which is important
for the preparation of your stay in Austria. Do not
hesitate to order this guide from us ([email protected]).

Introduction
Knowledge and innovation are the two pillars on which
the broad spectrum of higher education in Austria is
founded. Extremely complex university structures
that have grown over a long tradition as well as very
young institutions characterise the higher education
landscape in Austria. Austria offers a space for both
a scientific discourse intent on constructive criticism and discussion and for a rather application- and
practice-oriented specialised education. The numerous
Austrian institutions of higher education have become
the most important site of academic teaching and
research and they offer a broad range of study options.
The university colleges of teacher education offer
excellent educational possibilities for teacher training
throughout Austria.
Internationality is an important factor for the high
quality standard that is guaranteed by the institutions of tertiary education. Numerous bilateral grant
programmes, joint study programmes, university
partnerships, the EU programme Erasmus+, educational networks such as CEEPUS, ASEA Uninet, etc.
enable a great number of exchanges and a constant
crossing of borders.
The Bologna Process has been widely established in
Austria. Transparency and acknowledgement of
bachelor and master’s programmes are vital requirements for the opening within and outside Europe.
Science that stretches beyond regional borders is the
basis for the vibrant meeting place of research and
teaching that is offered by the Austrian institutions
of higher education.
78% of the students study at universities, 12% at universities of applied sciences, 5% at university colleges
of teacher education, 3% at universities of the arts and
the remaining 2% at private universities. 23% of the
approximately 340,000 degree programme students
in the academic year 2012/2013 are international
students (Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and
Research, unidata).
Universities
Wide variety of study options.
The Austrian universities display an enormous variety
in terms of both size and structure. Their educational
offer reflects this diversity. The study programmes at
the traditional comprehensive universities in Vienna,
Graz, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Linz and Salzburg cover
a broad spectrum of academic subjects. Austria’s
technical and medical universities, on the other hand,
concentrate on a range of highly specialised theoretical
and applied disciplines.
In 1994 the Austrian university landscape was expanded
even further by the establishment of the Danube
University Krems for postgraduate education. As
of January 1, 2004 the former medical faculties were
disjointed from their home universities and turned
into institutions in their own right, the autonomous
Medical Universities of Vienna, Graz, and Innsbruck.
Research and teaching are seen as an inseparable
entity at Austrian universities. Underpinned by this
tenet all academic fields (Humanities, Natural Sciences,
Law, Social and Economic Sciences, Medicine, Technology, Mining Sciences, Natural Resources and Applied
Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine) aim at fostering
interdisciplinarity. Interdisciplinary research work
promotes a university education that strives to develop
far-sighted concepts and solutions. The permanent
dialogue with trade and industry has led to the establishment of a great number of competence centres
in which innovative cooperation between university
departments and enterprises takes place.
In the last few years the Austrian university system has
introduced the European three-tier system of degrees
according to the Bologna process. Besides, the old
two-tier system still exists in some subject areas and
universities (for example Medicine).
5
Universities of the Arts
Tradition and modernity.
Whether it is music, dramatic arts, fine arts or
applied arts, Austria’s universities of the arts
provide an ideal space to tap into the fascinating interaction of art and science and acquire an
exquisite education in a host of subjects.
The universities of the arts in Austria have the
highest percentage of international students
(46% in the academic year 2012/2013, Austrian
Federal Ministry of Science and Research, unidata).
Austria has traditionally been at the confluence of
a rich variety of artistic streams, trends and styles.
Today it continues to offer ample opportunities:
the sound festival Ars Electronica in Linz, the
Salzburg Festival, which is very rich in tradition, the
jazz big band in Graz, the Viennale film festival,
the Baroque palace theatre in Schönbrunn or the
Picture Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts, to
name but a few. While the academic universities’
6
mission is closely tied to research, the universities
of the arts’ supreme objective is anchored in
the “development and opening up of the arts”.
The interaction between art and science, theory
and practice presents a challenge to creativity,
innovation and technical brilliance, which is taken
up by the universities of the arts.
Private Universities
A perfect study environment.
Austrian private universities offer innovative and
high quality education and provide students with
personal attention at the highest academic level.
Continuous internal and external evaluation of
teaching and research as well as active promotion of the arts assure constant university quality
development. The Austrian private universities
refine existing and establish new degree programmes based on current and future educational
needs. Periodic external reaccreditation reviews
supplement internal quality management and
provide graduates with excellent chances for their
future careers. The Conference of Austrian Private
Universities (OePUK) serves as official representative for its members both in Austria and abroad.
The curricula of the Austrian private universities
as well as the academic degrees awarded by them
differ from university to university.

Universities of Applied Sciences
A booming sector.
Since the start of the first few universities of
applied sciences (Fachhochschule) degree
programmes in the winter semester 1994/1995
a constantly growing demand can be experienced
in this sector. The programmes on offer at pre-
sent provide for an academically based and practiceoriented education (www.fachhochschulen.ac.at). In
line with the Bologna Process universities of applied
sciences offer bachelor and master’s programmes, and
in a few cases still the former diploma programmes.
Practice-oriented.
In the areas of economy, tourism, technology,
information technology, health, security, media and
design the universities of applied sciences provide
students with qualifications for specific occupations
that are in line with the demands of trade and industry.
Mandatory career-oriented practical training units
or job-based internships are part of the universities of
applied sciences degree programmes.
Since 1996/97 part-time study programmes for
working people have been offered, too, which take
into account the specific situation of working students.
Whether you are interested in modern telecommunication technologies, e-business, biotechnological
processes, traffic ecology, industrial IT, healthcare management, facility management or many more subjects,
the study options at the universities of applied sciences
are adapted constantly and in permanent dialogue
with trade and industry to meet the trends and
requirements of the time.
University Colleges of Teacher Education
The Austrian university colleges of teacher education
offer a three-year (six-semester) Bachelor of Education
(BEd) degree in combination with a teaching qualification for primary, secondary or special needs schools.
Some of them also offer BEd degrees for polytechnic
schools and for teaching religious education.
The University College of Agrarian and Environmental
Pedagogy offers a Bachelor of Education in combination with a qualification for teaching in schools of
agriculture. Graduates of higher secondary education
are accepted at the university colleges after going
through a screening procedure and after successfully
completing a four-week information period. The
study programme comprises courses in educational
science, subject studies relevant for the respective
teaching qualification and practical school experience.
There are nine state-run university colleges, e.g. in
Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Styria,
Vorarlberg, Carinthia and two in Vienna and five
private ones maintained by the dioceses of Graz,
Innsbruck, Linz and Vienna and by a foundation in
Burgenland.

A diploma degree programme both in Medicine and in
Dentistry can be studied following a new educational
concept, the so-called Medicine Curriculum Vienna (MCW).
The core of the MCW is the principle of integrated and
problem-oriented learning.
The curriculum consists of 24 integrated study blocks, followed by 12 clinical blocks. In the field “problem-oriented
learning“ (POL) students furthermore have to develop
strategies and solutions for problems related to the medical
practice autonomously and with guidance. The MCW also
places special emphasis on the training of the communicative and social competence of the students in their contact
with patients as well as the development of a well thoughtout ethical attitude.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Interdisciplinarity and translational research – these are key areas at MedUni Vienna.
Research results from the lab are translated into clinical practice. Practically all of the
units are involved in medico-scientific and medico-diagnostic research. The high
standard of research is reflected in the considerable number of scientific publications.
In 2011 scientists from MedUni Vienna published works with a total impact factor
of 11,880.
MedUni Vienna has created five structured research clusters:
_Allergology | Immunology | Infectious Diseases
_Cancer Research | Oncology (Comprehensive Cancer Center Vienna)
_Neurosciences
_Cardiovascular Medicine
_Medical Imaging
In addition, there are focal areas of research:
_Metabolism and Nutrition
_Organ Failure | Organ Replacement
_Musculoskeletal Disorders
_Orphan and Rare Diseases
_Critical Care

Research 2013+ – Vienna University of Technology defines new
strategic research focus points to be prepared for the future.
Within these specialist fields TU Wien is constantly striving to further develop the
spectrum covered by their research. On this basis the “TU research matrix” has been
developed as part of a joint effort with inhouse researchers for the 2013+ development plan. For this the TU’s research focal areas were defined with the 6-8 crossfaculty, predominantly interdisciplinary “TU fields of research”, which encompass
the skills within the TU research expertise on which the scientific profile in the 2013+
development plan is based. TU Wien has therefore selected five research focal areas:
_Computational Science and Engineering
_Quantum Physics and Quantum Technologies
_Materials and Matter
_Information and Communication Technology
_Energy and Environment
TU Wien is defined by the excellence of its researchers in the areas of expertise
covered by the TU’s research focal areas: this ensures that we have the very best
conditions to continue the success story that is Vienna University of Technology
(TU Wien).

The highlight of an academic year at the Angewandte is the annual exhibition
“The Essence”. “The Essence” showcases the origins and development processes of
selected individual and group projects by students and graduates from the preceding winter and summer semesters. They represent the various art departments as
extraordinary idea workshops with their own unique profile. Together with lecturers
and students curators organise an exhibtion of the most intriguing projects in Architecture, Industrial Design, Fine Arts, Stage Design, Design, Conservation and Restoration, Media Art, and Language Art, staging them in a prominent museum context in
Vienna: art as a seismograph of a changing society, as a form-giver of society, as an
institution that provokes change.

The Show Angewandte – the fashion department’s show – has become one of the
highlights of the Viennese fashion scene. Each June students present their collections.
It displays around 200 of the outfits designed and sewn in the previous semesters
under the artistic guidance of the fashion instructor. Witty or experimental, clean

quality of presented works and numerous successful graduates, including Bless,
House of the very island’s, Petar Petrov, Ute Ploier.

ABOUT:
The University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna is one of
the world‘s largest, oldest, and best known universities in the
performing arts of music, theatre and film. A charity concert
given by noble society ladies in 1812 led to the foundation of a “Society of the Friends of Music” with the goal of
promoting music in society. Finally, the “Konservatorium der
Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde” was founded in 1817. In 1851
the institution was turned into a government-supported
conservatory and finally in 1998 was granted the status of a
university. The university offers an outstanding education in
one of the most beautiful cities in the world – Vienna – with
curricula ranging from instrumental studies, voice and voice
performance, to acting in the Max Reinhardt Seminar, the
Film Academy Vienna, music education and research areas.

buildings, some of which are architecturally and historically
famous sites. The curriculum covers a wide array of subjects
from classical to modern music, music education, dramatic
arts, film and scientific subjects such as music sociology,
ethnology and management. The high quality of teachers
and students has led to the university’s international
reputation for artistic excellence. The high level of teaching

Vienna. In 2014 isa will be held for the 24th time in the beautiful region close to the
Semmering, in the south of Vienna and partly in Vienna itself from August 6 to 24,
2014. With the next annual theme of “Zeitenwenden/Times of Change” isa14 will
set out to deal with major historical turning points such as 1914, 1814 and 1989.
Important years for world history such as these not only have a political, social and
economic impact but also quite naturally influence the cultural sphere. With music
from these and other historical turning points as well as with the appropriate space
for interdisciplinary and scholarly reflection (as part of isaScience) isa14 will also
bring up important questions about our present-day situation.
The programs of the master classes, the festival, the workshops and the interdisciplinary projects will dig up many interesting, equally astounding and shattering events

ABOUT:
The Medical University of Graz is a young university with a
long-standing tradition: As early as 1863 much emphasis
was placed on medical research and the education of new
physicians, both of which proved to be very successful. In
January 2004 the former Faculty of Medicine was replaced
by an autonomous university. The core competencies of the
Medical University of Graz are: high-standard training and
education, research on an international level and continuous
improvement of top-quality medicine. Additionally, the
orientation toward the bio-psycho-social model is one of
the main concerns of the university. This orientation is also

and patient care that the Medical University of Graz breaks
new ground. This applies especially to the field of education,
where a new curriculum for medicine has been introduced in
2002. According to this curriculum students start their education with practical training and the medical knowledge will
be imparted in special modules. For the students this means
practical experience at a very early stage of their studies and
there are seminars and small study groups. Furthermore,
emphasis is put on both medical knowledge and on social
competence and ethics.

ABOUT:
The history of the University of Innsbruck extends back about
100 years before its official foundation, to the establishment of a Jesuit school in 1562. Emperor Leopold I used
this school as a basis for setting up the university, which was
founded in 1669. Over the next 150 years the university endured challenging times and was dissolved on two occasions
but was subsequently reopened each time. In 1826 Francis I
founded the Faculty of Philosophy and Law, and other facul-
ties were established progressively thereafter. In 1969 teaching started at the Faculty of Civil Engineering Sciences and
Architecture, and in 1976 Sociology and Economics, which
had previously been integrated into the Faculty of Law and
Political Science, was established as a separate faculty. Under
the University Act 2002 the university was then re-organised
into fifteen faculties and the Faculty of Medicine became a
separate University in its own right.
Quick facts:
The University of Innsbruck has developed into the largest
and most important research and education institution in
western Austria, with almost 28,000 students and more
than 4,500 staff and faculty members. Located in the heart
of the Alps, the University of Innsbruck offers excellent
facilities for research and teaching in a spectacular environment, and international rankings confirm the University’s
important role in scientific research. In 2012 scientists from
the University of Innsbruck produced more than 3,500
publications.
38
The University of Innsbruck is very well integrated into
the European research and education network. Through
some 400 partnerships and numerous agreements it has
established important relationships with institutes and
universities worldwide. Within this productive environment
the university‘s 16 faculties provide a broad spectrum of
programmes in all fields of study. In order to promote international exchange in research and teaching the university
also collaborates with numerous international research
institutions.

University of Art and Design
Linz
ABOUT:
The University of Art and Design Linz (Kunstuniversität Linz)
has its institutional and programmatic roots in the “Kunstschule” (Art School) of the City of Linz, which was founded
in 1947, assigned academy status in 1973 and finally made
a fully-fledged university in 1998. The institution was conceived as an explicit statement to signify dissociation from
the previous art policy of the National Socialist era. This is in
particular exemplified by its emphasis on the fundamental
values of freedom of art and research, its commitment to
modernism and contemporary art and the positioning of
the University at the interface of free artistic and appliedeconomically-oriented design. In the past as in the present
these values form the basis of the fundamental essence and
identity of the Kunstuniversität Linz.
Since January 1, 2004 the University is constituted as a “corporation under public law” according to the new Universities
Organisation Act of 2002 and hence enjoys far-reaching
autonomy.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
With its curricula and thematic profile the University of Art and Design Linz occupies
a somewhat special position at least in the German-speaking region but also beyond.
The reason lies in the fact that its curricula and profile are largely situated at the
interfaces between freelance art and applied design as well as between artistic creation and scientific research. This fundamental concept revolves around three central
pillars: intermediality, spatial strategies and artistic-scientific research.
Moreover, the above-mentioned special position is justified by other unique aspects,
such as a strong focus on contemporary and future artistic/design disciplines, close
relations with cultural and art institutions as well as with economic and industrial
circles, the nexus between artistic and applied creativity underpinned by numerous
projects or a clearly stated commitment to artistic and scientific mediation. Compact
and differentiated; equally in tune with the surrounding region and international
networks; efficient, creative, yet easy-going and informal, this is an atmosphere
worthwhile exploring.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
The New Design University is a private university founded by the Chamber of Commerce of Lower Austria. The university’s small size provides for a high amount of
flexibility in organising the individual study programmes. It maintains a close connection between research, teaching and the region’s entrepreneurs, exemplified
by a platform (“FutureLab”) where students can hone their professional skills by
working on “real-life” commissioned projects and supervised by expert professors.
All students can easily join such research projects and thus – already early on in
their academic career – learn to respond to business demands in a creative, innovative manner.
The City of St.Pölten – home to the university – figures as a laboratory for this
“real-life” development approach: students are in close contact with citizens and
city officials, discussing the evolution of the city and its population. In this way
the entire study programme has a strong practical side and connects the students
with the professional world. The university also maintains and develops strong and
innovative partnerships with national and international universities.

ABOUT:
Leadership Competence
As the name implies the main aspect for our bachelor
programme is leadership competence. Knowledge and skills
are developed to enable the graduate to cope with modern
security challenges. To this end expert knowledge is gained
in military core subjects and in relevant scientific disciplines
such as law, political science, economy and business administration, philosophy, sociology, psychology and educational
science.
Apart from military customers civilian enterprises and organisations (GOs, NGOs, IOs) will headhunt for our graduates
since they trust their premium leadership competence and
their experience.
Language of instruction
The language of instruction is German (B2 level). Certain
subjects, however, are taught in English.
Quick facts:
The Theresan Military Academy was founded in 1752 and is
the oldest Military Academy in the world.
The number of teachers is 150 and the number of students
who have attended the academy is 5,500. 3-5% civilian
students attend the Academy.
In compliance with the timeless, straightforward order
issued by Empress Maria Theresia in 1752 “Make them fine
112
officers and righteous men!” the faculty of the Military
Academy is still making great efforts to bring forth leaders
of excellence. These days, however, her mission has been
restated within the framework of the Bachelor Programme
Military Leadership to include both military and civilian crisis
managers of either sex (to cater for equal opportunities).

Quick facts:
Innovative region Vorarlberg
FHV‘s interesting location in Vorarlberg is unique: this
Austrian province borders on the three countries of
Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Situated between
Lake Constance and the Arlberg mountain range, its trump
card is the mix of a strong economy and great recreational
offerings. Cities such as Zurich, Milan and Munich as well as
the most beautiful ski areas in the Arlberg and Montafon
116
regions are all within easy reach. Obviously, Vorarlberg is
one of the most innovative regions in Europe.
High industrialization and the combination of traditional
and modern influences generate an extremely creative and
success-oriented climate. Examples for that are companies
such as Tridonic, New Logic, Alpla, Bachmann, Blum, Zumtobel, HQ Laser or Doppelmayr.

students and teachers, is a basic characteristic of our teacher
training courses. A course of initial teacher training (including attendance and examinations) can be completed within
the usual 6-semester period of study.
Thorough training is the basis of a successful and enjoyable
career as a teacher. Our college supports life-long learning
with a wide variety of courses (in-service training, supplementary teacher training and courses for people employed in
associated occupations). We place a premium stress on international networking (with universitities in Europe, Africa and
Asia), and topicality in our scholarly and scientific research.
A particular attraction of our college campus is its location,
situated on a hill in the green belt overlooking the city.

University Preparation Programmes
The University Preparation Programmes have been set up
for those international students who have been admitted to
study at an Austrian university but who have to take supplementary examinations before beginning their studies at this
university. Courses range from German intensive courses to
preparation courses for other disciplines. University Preparation Programmes are a joint facility of the universities,
supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education,
the Arts and Culture, and administered by the OeAD.
The cosmopolitan, tolerant, and communicative atmosphere at the university courses provides an open forum for
international encounter. In the courses students develop
and practise – with the support of instructors – not only
those skills required for the academic domain but also
acquire the social and cultural skills needed in everyday life.
A variety of extracurricular activities conceived to supplement the academic programme (such as excursions, day
trips, visits to cultural events or student facilities, joint
celebrations) contribute to the integration of the students
into their new environment.
