Notes
Austria's Austrian Universities of Applied Sciences began in 1994 and now educate 50,000 students in the country. The UAS system in Austria is different than others I have experienced thus far. Like in other countries that have reputable UAS programs, there is a practical focus and an emphasis on providing students with the skills and knowledge they will need in the workforce. In fact, the country-wide employment rate for graduates of UAS programs is 90%. Unlike UAS programs in other countries, almost ll of the graduates go directly into master’s degree programs, and many graduates do continue on to study in Ph.D. programs. Further, the entry requirements are not lowered necessarily lower for UAS programs in Austria.
