technical university of applied sciences in Austria are highly sought-after in business and have excellent career opportunities.

Technology + business + personality The main focus of education at UAS Technikum Wien is, of course, on technical knowledge. However, more than this is often needed to be successful in your future career. For this reason, much emphasis is also placed on languages, business and personal development subjects, in addition to the high-quality technical education.

“At UAS Technikum Wien, instruction and research go hand in hand.”

University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien Technology is exciting!

From applying to studying – the admissions process Prospective students interested in a master’s degree program at UAS Technikum Wien can apply online any time on our web site. The main component of the admissions

“Students have the opportunity to study at one of more than 125 partner institutions worldwide.”

process is a personal interview between the prospective student and the program director. Some degree programs also require applicants to take a written test in the relevant field. You can obtain more detailed information about the admissions process and application deadlines on UAS Technikum Wien’s website or from the relevant degree program’s administrative assistant.

Women and technology Even today, few women decide to pursue a technical education or a technical career although the field offers creativity, freedom, teamwork and, last but not least, good advancement and salary opportunities. UAS Technikum Wien would like to get more women interested in technical education programs and therefore takes measures that are specially geared towards supporting women and alleviating their apprehensions.

Technology is international Knowledge is mobile and mobility increases knowledge. Students at UAS Technikum Wien have the opportunity to study at one of our more than 125 partner institutions worldwide or to do internships abroad in order to improve their language skills and gain international experience. Students are supported in this area by the Center for International Relations, which among other things, provides assistance with student exchanges and internships abroad as well as with the procurement of financial support.

The bachelor’s and master’s degree system “Women and technology – a promising combination”

The UAS Technikum Wien was the first university of applied sciences in Austria to switch to bachelor’s and master’s degrees. The system not only improves the international comparability of academic degrees; it also offers a great deal of flexibility in shaping the course of one’s education. For example, it is possible to embark on a career after completing a bachelor’s degree and at the same time complete a master’s degree program part-time. Additional advantages of the system include increased student mobility and the enhanced attractiveness of the academic courses on offer for foreign students.

FH-Prof. DI Dr. Stefan Sauermann, Program Director “Modern medicine is not only becoming increasingly complex, but also more technically demanding. Therefore, the industry needs experts with know-how in both the technical and medical fields who can develop and implement special technical solutions and products for the healthcare sector.”
