What is special/great about the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland?

The University of Applied Science of Burgenland is special because of the wonderful learning opportunities it provides its students, while offering these services with a personal touch.

"The University moves beyond traditional lecture style classes, providing students with lecturers that are experts in their fields, who then provide an atmosphere for students to engage, think critically and challenge themselves. It is truly a wonderful programme and university to be a part of, and the staff at the university are always readily available to help students, find solutions with them and offer support. That cannot always be found at other universities, and in my opinion, these are all part of what makes the University of Applied Sciences of Burgenland a great place to learn and grow."

What are your plans for your future after your studies here?

"I am planning to remain in Austria and would like to continue to work in the field of social work, which I had previously studied, but I plan to take the knowledge I have learned from this programme into the field with me. Having now studied project management focusing on EU policies and law, I feel I can use this to further help with projects in the field of social work and focus on tackling issues not just on a micro level, but on a macro level where real changes can be made. I would also like to teach in the future, and am looking at doctorate programmes with an emphasis on advocacy in the field of mental health, which I had previously specialised in and currently work in."
