THE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES, BURGENLAND

There are currently over 3,500 students enrolled at our campuses which are located in Eisenstadt and Pinkafeld. In addition, we continually welcome incoming students from various European countries. There is a very friendly atmosphere due to the relatively low number of students; therefore, meeting people and making new friends happens relatively quickly.
