Regional foundations of Austrian UAS and their contribution to regional development
Executive Summary
UAS are closely connected to their region – in researchpartly because of a lack of public financing
UAS are geografically close to their students and researchpartners, which are often SMEs or bigger companies from the region
UAS attract many people from vocational schools; UAS in generalmotivate young people within their region to joinuniversities
The consistent bridge between theory and practise is a redthread throughout teaching and researching at UAS
UAS are main contributors to regional added value
Executive Summary
UAS are a key driver for regional development in Austria in many regards. They change(d) perceptions of university in Austria and add(ed) value to a lot of areas, not only the academicor the econonic one, but to society in general.
The Austrian University of Applied Science System
University landscape in Austria
Key facts: UAS in Austria
Late market entry in comparison to other countries: 1994
21 private or public companies – in almost all casesowners from the region of the UAS
In average 90 % state-financed through study placepromotion
Focus on Teaching Focus on Bachelor degrees (70% - Master: 30%) No accreditation for doctoral studies (in talks) Actual number of students 48.000 or 13% out of
360.000 in total; fastest growing universitysector
Teaching mission
“Universities of Applied Science ... have the task to offercourses of study at university level, which is a scientificallyfounded vocational training." (FHStG § 3. (1))
Educational assignment – in a nutshell
Do it
Practice-orientedAt higher education level
With Quality assuranceEducational and didactic appealing preparation
Enhancing the permeability of the education system
Promoting the professional flexibility of the graduates
Key facts
31 % of Austrians have a tertiary degree (OECD average 35%, rank 23/35; EU average 32%, rank 14/23)
360.000 students in Austria in 2015 48.000 in UAS (13 %; annual growth: 5 % in average);
traditional universities: 280.000 (78 %; annual growth: 1 % in average)
38 % of UAS students study in the field of business/economics, 40% in a technical field; Healthsciences are third with 11 % (but this area grows the most)
15 % of UAS students are Non-Austrians (2/3 of them EU) Despite having just 13 % of the students, the UAS sector
produce 27 % of the graduates annually
Key facts
UAS: 100% Bologna System UAS Students mostly comefrom vocational schools
Key facts
UAS: Low dropout UAS: excellentprofessor-student-ratio
Key facts
Today, 21.500 out of 77.500 new students annually startat UAS (28%); 50,4 % of them are women
Traditional universities slowly drop in new regular students(from a high level), UAS gain new students every year(between 2 und 8 % annually since 2010)
In Burgenland, every second new student joins a UAS (most of them their regional one, UASB)
Within the population of 18-21 year olds, every secondpersons starts to study at a university, 31 % at a traditional one, 19 % at a UAS.
Burgenland, where the UAS is the only universityin the federal state, over quota in this sector, with 25 % joining a UAS.
Review – Start in 1994
University – diploma coursesin the technical field 5 years264,333 students, of which 46,100 in the field of technology(about 17%)Degree: Dipl.-Ing.

Development of students
Sectoral development UAS sector has grown quantitatively (currently approx.
48,000 students in 21 Fachhochschulen) and will continue to grow (today: 5 % annually in study places), also by politicalwill
UAS sector has broadened its scope (for example, to the social and health sector; in talks: law)
2016: Ministry of Science pushes UAS and university sectorsto do adjustments of programs
Future of UAS studies
Research mission
„The holder has to ensure that the teaching and researchstaff participate in application-oriented research anddevelopment work.“ (FHStG § 10 (7))
"Man kann Dinge zufällig entdecken oder sie systematisch erforschen"

§ 12 (2) A recognition as a University of Applied Science course of studies presupposes that the application-specific research and development workrequired by members of the teaching body to achievethe objectives and to secure the principles

FUNDING IS STILL MODEST

RESEARCH PARTNERS ARE CLOSE, AND OFTEN SMEs
Sectoral development Expenses for research at the Austrian Universities of Applied
Sciences have nearly quadrupled between 2002 and 2011. Programs like „FH Plus“ and „COIN“ push UAS research. The share of the UAS in the total research expenditure of the
university lecturer also increased, but is still comparativelymodest.
Future of UAS research
ASPECTS OF RESEARCH AND RESEARCH SUPPORT IN THE AUSTRIAN UNIVERSITIES OF APPLIED SCIENCE AREA
„It should be avoided to push UAS directly or indirectly (evenfurther) into the contract research. In reality, contractresearch means very often small-scale services that do not allow structurally effective knowledge and know-how to bedeveloped at the UAS.“
Quelle: technopolis |group|, Evaluierung der Forschungsförderung für Fachhochschulen in Österreich, Endbericht an das Bundesministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Wirtschaft (BMWFW), Mai 2015
ASPECTS OF RESEARCH AND RESEARCH SUPPORT IN THE AUSTRIAN UNIVERSITIES OF APPLIED SCIENCE AREA
„In addition to enabling sufficient research space for the academics at the UAS, an effective integration of researchand teaching should be ensured in order to ensure the continuous supply of research-led teaching at the UAS.“
„The importance of UAS as a cooperation partner for the economy/practice in research and development in itsimmediate regional environment is certainly important, but atthe same time UAS should not be reduced exclusively to thisregional dimension.

University of Applied Sciences asdrivers of Regional Development
Overall situation in Burgenland
„The development of education in Burgenland is characterized by a strong catching-up process at the educational level as compared to the rest of Austria. However, the country has not yet reached the overallAustrian level. The population share with university oracademy degrees in Burgenland is below the Austrian average.“
Statistik Austria: Bildung in Zahlen 2014/15. Schlüsselindikatoren und Analysen.
Relevance
In addition to Vorarlberg, Burgenland is the onlyfederal state in Austria without a public university
zitiert in: Bildung in Zahlen 2014/2015, Statistik Austria
Key facts
25 out of 100 people between 18 and 25 study (average in Austria: 28,7)
But Burgenland has the 2nd highest beginner rate for new students
And the quota of UAS students is higher than the Austrian average (6,6 % to 5,4 %)
Continuing education (where UASB is active only since 3 years): with 10 % participation worst rate in Austria
…where UASB is strong, all numbers go up in the region.
Example: Regional added value study, UAS Salzburg 2016
67 million euros added value (2008: 44 million) Expenses of the students 6.700 euros per academic year lead,
turnover volume of a total 15.2 million euros From the operation of UAS Salzburg itself, demand-effective effects
amounting to a total of around 22 million euros Indirect effects of around EUR 29.8 million (multiplier effects). These
are triggered in numerous upstream branches of the service andproduction sector of the regional economy
1,180 safe and high-quality jobsas a direct result
8 million euros fiscal effects to local authorities
UAS Salzburg: medium-sized UAS with 2600 students;only UAS within the federal state of Salzburg

“The smaller the country, the greater the world abroad seems to be” (Jacques Santer)
For a state as small as Burgenland, in the centre of Europe, the view beyond our borders has always been important. We offer our students, lecturers, researchers and staff an international, intercultural working environment. Our network of partner institutions and companies abroad, makes a wide range of activities possible.
Well established network of 74 partner universities in 23 European countries.
INTERNATIONALES
„One can discover things by accident or explore them“
Here at the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland, we don‘t believe in coincidence, which is why we offer our students not only practical training but also top-class research and development projects.
