Management

As Austria’s first distance-learning university of applied sciences, we stand by a clear promise: Education should be accessible, flexible, and effective— for people in all walks of life. Since our founding, we have been designing academic programs so that they can be balanced with work, family, and personal life paths. In this way, we ensure that studying and continuing education adapt to our students’ lives—not the other way around.

Our strength lies in combining academic expertise, digital learning spaces, and personalized support. Through our blended learning approach, we create learning spaces that are flexible in terms of time and location, without compromising on quality, interaction, or community. This creates a learning environment that builds future-ready skills and promotes lifelong learning.

At the same time, we see ourselves as an active participantin societal transformation. Through our research and teaching, we drive progress in digitalization, sustainability, and innovation in business, healthcare, and technology.

We can only succeed in thistask by working together. We would like to thank all students, faculty, staff, and partner organizations who are working with us to rethink and further develop academic education.
