As one of the leading universities of applied science in Austria, FH JOANNEUM is located across three campuses in Graz, Kapfenberg and Bad Gleichenberg and attracts students from across the world. Founded over twenty-five years ago, its mission is to provide a first-class academic education combined with a practiceorientated approach that helps prepare students for the world of work and beyond. There are six schools of study: Applied Computer Science; Building, Energy & Society; Engineering; Health Studies; Management; and Media & Design. The broad spectrum of subjects on offer and interdisciplinary approach means that students can study everything from engineering and informatics through to healthcare, social work, architecture, journalism and management.

The Department of Management offers programs in four areas: international management, banking and insurance, industrial management (a hybrid program combining engineering and business), and health management and tourism. One of the most innovative, leading-edge courses by the department is the master’s in digital entrepreneurship. Open to students from all backgrounds, it supports them in successfully starting their own business or becoming an innovator within an established organization. Students learn which digital tools are useful for setting up their business and how to develop their mindset and resilience, with courses on creativity, design thinking and managing their own resources. In small groups, students are also given extensive coaching and the chance to meet industry experts, stakeholders and potential investors.

FH JOANNEUM has partnerships with over one hundred other global universities and several programs are offered in English, including a master’s in electrical engineering and a master’s in global strategic management.

Across all undergraduate disciplines, there is a mandatory internship, and the university prides itself on its close links across industry with a large number of industry experts working as adjunct teaching staff.
