Dear friends and partners of our university,

The FHWien University of Applied Sciences of WKW has long been pursuing an ambitious mission: to become Austria’s leading university of applied sciences (UAS). This objective can only be achieved through unwavering commitment and having the courage to cast a critical eye on existing approaches – even if this means challenging dearly held beliefs. Extensive activities in the fields of communication and quality continue to lay the groundwork for the accomplishment of this mission. 

Among Austria’s Top Five UASs

We already rank as Austria’s leading provider of UAS degree programmes for management and communication. And we have designed our academic programmes to be active, flexible, and future-oriented in line with the principle of life-long learning. A variety of  Austrian top-rankings from recent years confirms the success of our approach: we have consistently been ranked among the top five UASs in the nation.

Cutting-edge education through corporate partnerships

Coming so close to achieving our aim in a relatively short period of time would have been impossible without our corporate partners' support. Collaboration with our partners from a wide range of business fields gives us the critical impetus to continually improve our curriculum. The trust that they offer us through their sponsorship serves as further confirmation of our efforts and  encourages us to forge ahead. Moreover we receive direct support from our partner committee comprised of leading members of the business community.

You, too, can help us to accomplish our mission and design the future of education.
Thank you in advance for your commitment!

Sincerely Yours,



Michael Heritsch
Managing Director of the FHWien University of Applied Sciences of WKW
