Salzburg University of Applied Sciences

Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is a university of applied sciences based in Puch, in the Salzburg region. It was founded in 1995. The institution appears in the Austrian national register of higher education institutions under the category Fachhochschule, with its seat in Puch bei Hallein.

The register lists 36 programmes of all kinds and languages at the institution. Ten of these are English-taught degree programmes: two Bachelor's and eight Master's. The subjects taught span Industrial Design, Digital Media, Multimedia Design, Tourism Management, Computer Science and IT, Cybersecurity, and Sustainable Development. The OeAD directory also lists a page for the institution for students looking at Austria.

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

With ten English-taught programmes across design, media, tourism, IT, cybersecurity and sustainable development, there is a fair choice at both Bachelor's and Master's level. The mix leans towards applied and professional fields, which suits students who want a defined programme rather than a broad academic course.
