Kufstein is a great place to live and has a lot to offer students. Situated on the River Inn on the German border, it's a charming little town with a medieval old town, a striking fortress and stunning mountain views. This picturesque town in the Tyrolean lowlands has more to offer than just its location: excellent transportation links, good infrastructure, short distances, an international flair, and a wide range of sports and cultural activities. Come experience Kufstein for yourself.
Universities of applied sciences (UAS) provide practice-oriented degree programs in technical, economic, or social fields, whereas universities emphasise research and academic pursuits.
UAS typically require entrance exams and interviews for admission. In contrast, universities do not have a standard application or entrance test but instead have an introductory and orientation phase (STEOP).
Tuition fees at UAS are approximately Euro 363.36 per semester, plus a contribution to the Austrian National Union of Students (ÖH). Although universities can technically charge tuition fees, these fees are often waived for Austrian and EU citizens.

A bachelor's degree is an undergraduate higher education program that is the first academic degree obtained after completing secondary school or an equivalent qualification. It offers a comprehensive and well-founded education in a specific subject area and prepares students either for direct entry into a career or for further study programmes such as a Master's degree.
A Master's degree program is an advanced academic pursuit undertaken after obtaining a Bachelor's degree. It serves to enhance expertise within a specific field and allows for specialization. Master's programs often emphasize research and are designed to equip students for careers in academia, research, or various industries. In Austria, a typical Master's degree program spans one to two years, equivalent to two to four semesters.
Studying part-time allows you to work alongside your studies. However, work is not a must. Lessons take place on Fridays or Saturdays, so that work and study or family life and study are compatible.
