4 We form Europe s top executives at the University of Applied Sciences bfi Vienna (FH bfi Vienna) When the OECD evaluated the Austrian educational system in the mid-1970s, they recommended the implementation of universities of applied sciences. On 1 October 1993 this new aspect was added to the Austrian educational landscape as the Federal Act on University of Applied Sciences Degree Programmes (FHStG) came into force. FH degree programmes offer work-related education at university level, comply with EU regulations and offer all the advantages of a basic theoretical education combined with practical implementation; furthermore, the tight schedule of the programmes (mandatory attendance) reduces the duration of study in comparison to established traditional universities. At present there are over 400 FH degree programmes on offer in Austria. The University of Applied Sciences bfi Vienna is now one of the leading universities of applied sciences in Austria. Its graduates are internationally regarded as highly qualified. They are very much in demand as employees in demanding areas of responsibility across various fields of activities in industry, administration and the economy. At the University of Applied Sciences bfi Vienna academic education is combined with practical training. The sophisticated scientific education forms the base for career prospects in management. Many important and major businesses consider the degree programmes particularly future- oriented and therefore support the FH as sponsors. FH bfi Vienna in Europe s top league The FH bfi Vienna is the only university in Vienna that was awarded the ECTS and the Diploma Supplement Labels again in Already in 2006 and 2009, the FH (University of Applied Sciences) bfi Vienna received the ECTS Label. As the label is only valid for a certain period of time, the FH applied again in 2013 and succeeded in being awarded the label again. The circumstance that both labels were confirmed reflects the sustainable nature of teaching and the expertise of the lecturers. We form Europe s top executives is both the FH s motto and its claim. The ECTS the European Credit Transfer System makes degree programmes transparent and comparable across Europe. The graduates of the FH bfi Vienna are internationally considered highly qualified.

These international contacts result in joint projects and an intensive exchange of both lecturers and students. This award recognises the high level of internationalisation at the FH bfi Vienna.

50 International offers at the UAS bfi Vienna Studying and working abroad Our international co-operation network spans over 80 partner universities, from St. Petersburg to Istanbul and from Cádiz in Spain to Valparaíso in Chile. The focus of our offers is on Europe and, in the framework of the Socrates/Erasmus exchange programme, includes monthly scholarships as well as the exemption from all tuition fees. During one or two semesters abroad our students expand their intercultural competences and languages skills, advance their career prospects and broaden their personal horizons. Depending on the degree programme and the type of programme in the respective country, it is possible to participate in a double degree programme, which enables students to earn an Austrian degree as well as an academic degree in the host country in more or less the same time. Furthermore, the UAS offers the students sponsorships for internships abroad within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci Programme. Offers range from financial support for monthly expenses, preparatory language training and travel expenses to the arrangement of internships by our own UAS staff. Short-term offers abroad The UAS arranges summer schools, participation in various international and EU projects as well as excursions abroad, which are an interesting alternative to the more traditional semester abroad, particularly for part-time students. International experience at home A range of Eastern languages and language certificates in English, Spanish, French and Russian (in the form of evening classes at the UAS) attest to the linguistic focus of our study programmes. A number of guest lecturers from our partner universities across all programmes ensure that knowledge transfer takes place at an international level. Exchange students from our partner universities can give their Austrian colleagues an insight into foreign cultures. In this regard our buddy system is particularly interesting: Austrian students at the UAS look after one or more students from abroad and can benefit with regard to their language skills and intercultural experiences. Our International Weeks are also dedicated to internationalisation. They are intended as a comprehensive platform for international education programmes (exhibitions, presentations, guest lectures, discussion forums, business contacts, ). At an institutional level the international office of the UAS bfi Vienna will gladly provide extensive information about partner universities, mobility and promotional programmes, language classes and other international opportunities. 50
