About the same number of CUAS graduates is impressive proof of the necessity and importance of this academic institution. Through ever growing acceptance of the programs as well as the high demand for our graduates in industry, the programs wi...ll be further developed in the coming years.
CUAS has developed into a unique educational institution in Carinthia. Through constant further development of the degree programs at CUAS and intensive cooperation with the worlds of business and science, those studying at the university can be certain of a progressive education with its finger on the pulse of time. CUAS lives the vision of direct practical experience. Full- and part-time lecturers, as well as guest speakers from industry and business ensure an interdisciplinary, internationally oriented education. Degree programs are offered in the fields of civil engineering and architecture, engineering, as well as management, healthcare and social issues.
The quality of our education is emphasized through the development of innovative teaching and learning methods, such as, blended learning, which offers students and professors greater flexibility in the creation of a suitable learning environment.Furthermore, the CUAS library offers educational support through state of the art facilities.
The work council represents the interface between the staff and faculty (employees) and the management (employer). The current work council team harmonizes well with one another, complements each other well and is committed to positively act upon the concerns of all fellow colleagues.
An elected work council can – supported by the solidarity of the staff and faculty – forcefully and consequently address and represent the concerns of its colleagues. In addition to its core function of representing the work force vis-à-vis the management of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, the work council looks for opportunities as well as funding for business, social, health and cultural interests of the staff and faculty.
The Committee for Equality Issues deals with matters on this subject and the development of measures and initiatives for implementing our basic principle.
Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS) was established in 1995 in the legal form of a society as the organisational body for university studies in Carinthia. The registered office of the society was in Spittal an der Drau. Since the beginning of 2002, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences gemeinnuetzige Privatstiftung (non-profit private foundation) has been the organisational and funding body for Carinthian university degree programs.
The financing of the non-profit private foundation takes place by means of contributions from the federal government, the province of Carinthia and the local municipalities. Also, the membership fees of the society, which has become one of the 15 founders, as well as donations and proceeds from events contribute to financing the operation of the organisation.
Applied science and development is one core activity of CUAS. On the one hand this encompasses the successful completion of research activities in the areas technology, management as well as health sciences & social work. On the other hand research and development is a significant quality marker that plays a vital role in the competition with other universities. The successful completion of Research & Development projects is one of the major tasks of teaching and research staff.
Universities of Applied Sciences focus their work in particular on the area of applied research and development. Research activities enhance the quality of teaching to a high degree by making important current and innovative content available for the education of students. However, research also functions as a profile-shaping measure for each university. Through developing specific expertise and appropriate infrastructure, universities may gain high recognition in society and equally can generate economic benefit. Resulting overall perception determines the “standing” of a university and thereby influences the stream of students and financial resources towards the university.
