  University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria Professor for Product Management & Industrial Marketing

  Dr Alexander Brendel-Schauberger says

  My university is a great place to study because first and foremost it offers top-level education is highly relevant fields. Especially the master's programs are very international, so you'll meet new colleagues from all around the world and build a great network for your future career.

  Additionally, Wels is an up-and-coming place located in the heart of Austria, so you'll easily reach great cities like Vienna or Salzburg as well as the beautiful Austrian mountains.

  My favorite thing about our university is the personal relationships that are built between professors and students. Since our programs have only limited participants, I know all of my students by their names and can build my lectures around their specific backgrounds and specialized interests.

  International students are guided through our institution from the first day they are with us. Our dedicated International Office is there for them for all matters and organizes events like our super famous International Week, where all the new international students have the chance to present themselves and their home countries.

  What I liked most in this semester was the "International cook with me program" where (due to Covid19), international students prepared a typical dish from their home country and everyone could follow and cook along via a live stream.

  99% of our students have a job after graduating, most of them get multiple job offers before they even graduate. Since Upper Austria is an industrial hub with many manufacturing companies and automotive suppliers, there are numerous opportunities and as most of these companies operate globally, they are continually searching for well-educated, international staff in fields like engineering, software and hardware development, innovation, and product management.

  Our University is great for international students because, in addition to a good professional education, we offer students very individual support and very practical training.

  Our International Office takes care of every single student, and with the associated software park in Hagenberg, there are good job opportunities even during your studies.

  Dr Christoph Schaffer says

  The University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria is a great place for international students because we take care of our students and they can enjoy the best possible education.

  Usually, only a few students are admitted to the study programs. This guarantees the best possible exchange between students and teachers and thus ensures excellent learning success.

  We have our own office for our international students, which is not only available for study-related matters. In addition, we also offer 100% online programs, so there are no costs for traveling and applying for VISA, etc

  The career prospects for the students are excellent. Many of our students already work for well-known companies during their studies. Our graduates are active in top positions internationally.
