Executive Management

As Austria’s first distance-learning University of Applied Sciences, we stand for a clear promise: education should be accessible, flexible and effective – for people in every walk of life. Since our foundation, we have designed academic education so that it can be combined with work, family and personal life paths. This means that studying and continuing education adapt to our students’ lives – not the other way round.

Our strength lies in combining academic competence, digital learning spaces and personal support. Through our blended learning approach, we create learning spaces that are flexible in time and place without compromising on quality, exchange or community. The result is a study environment that strengthens future skills and promotes lifelong learning.

At the same time, we see ourselves as an active part of social transformation. In research and teaching, we provide impetus for digitalisation, sustainability and innovation in business, health and technology.

This task can only succeed together. Our thanks go to all students, lecturers, staff and partner organisations who work with us to rethink and further develop academic education.
