The institution appears in the Austrian national register of higher education institutions under the category Fachhochschule, with its seat in Villach.

The register lists 51 programmes of all kinds and languages at the institution. Of these, 14 are English-taught degree programmes: 4 at Bachelor's level and 10 at Master's level.

For an international student, the practical steps go through the institution itself. You apply directly to it, and it sets its own application period and its own entrance procedure, so check its website for the dates and requirements that apply to the programme you want. Students from outside the EU and EEA need a Residence Permit for Students. At public universities, EU, EEA and Swiss students pay no tuition within the standard duration of study plus two semesters, while most other students pay a per-semester fee. Every student pays the student union fee.
