FH Kufstein Tirol among the top 10 in Austria

The University of Applied Sciences (FH) Kufstein Tirol achieved eighth place in the 2024 university ranking of Industriemagazin. In collaboration with the brand analysis company brandscore, the magazine surveyed 200 C-level managers from various Austrian companies. For the ranking, the respondents assessed the image and awareness of the 21 universities of applied sciences across the country using the school grading system. The evaluation clearly shows that awareness of Austria’s universities of applied sciences is at its highest level since the ranking began 25 years ago. This can be explained, among other things, by marketing with targeted advertising campaigns and personal recommendations by students.

It is great to see that this commitment is also recognized and appreciated by representatives from the business world. I would like to thank all employees of the FH Kufstein Tirol for making this success possible.”
