University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt

The University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt, FHWN for short, is a Fachhochschule in the Lower Austrian city of Wiener Neustadt. It also teaches at sites in Wieselburg and Tulln, both in Lower Austria, and runs further locations in Vienna and Salzburg. The Wikipedia entry describes faculties in Business, Technology, Health, Sport and Safety.

It was founded on 3 October 1994, when 169 students started on one business and one technical degree programme. By 1996 numbers had more than doubled and the original building was extended. In 1999 the ministry designated it as Austria's first University of Applied Sciences. Degree programmes moved to the Bachelor's and Master's structure in 2004. The City Campus opened in autumn 2019 in the renovated Karmeliterkirche, and the Faculty of Economics and the library are based there. Wieselburg, established in 1999, focuses on marketing, innovation, consumer science and sustainability. Tulln has offered Biotechnological Processes since 2002 and Bio Data Science since 2018.

The national register lists 47 programmes of all kinds and languages, 7 of them taught in English: 2 Bachelor's and 5 Master's. The subjects covered are Marketing, Business Administration, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science and Finance. Teaching is organised by faculty, and the Wikipedia text names Business, Technology, Health, Sport and Safety.

For an international student, the practical points are straightforward. You apply directly to the institution, which sets its own application period and entrance procedure, so check the website for the programme you want. Students from outside the EU/EEA need a Residence Permit for Students. Every student pays the student union fee.
