University of Applied Sciences Technikum Vienna (''German:'' Fachhochschule Technikum Wien) was founded in 1994 and became
Vienna’s first
university of applied sciences in 2000. It is the largest technical university of applied sciences in
Austria and offers twelve
bachelor's degree and eighteen
master's degree programs.
Since 2012, UAS Technikum has been a member of the
European University Association (EUA). In October 2008, UAS Technikum opened a second location in the passive office building
ENERGYbase in Floridsdorf, Vienna and following that, in 2013 a comprehensive expansion of the main location at Höchstädtplatz in Vienna's 20th district
Brigittenau was completed.
In December 2015, UAS Technikum was awarded the
Erasmus+ Award 2015 in the category of
Higher Education. It has also been awarded the first place in the annual UAS ranking conducted by the
Austrian Industry Magazine, most notably in 2015 and 2021.
With around 12,000 graduates and around 4,400 students, UAS Technikum is the largest provider of technical studies at universities of applied sciences in Austria. It is also a network partner of FEEI (
Fachverband der Elektro- und Elektronikindustrie).
In April 2021, FH-Prof. Dr. Sylvia Geyer was appointed to succeed FH-Prof. DI Dr. Fritz Schmöllebeck as the rector of UAS Technikum, acting as of September 1, 2021.
Degree Programmes
UAS Technikum offers 12 bachelor's and 18 master's degree programs. Depending on the program, studies can be completed either full-time, part-time or in distance learning.
