- General
Balancing work and study: FH Kufstein Tirol offers flexible study options.
At the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol, we promote the compatibility of studies, career, and family. With a part-time degree program, you are making a targeted investment in your personal development.
Whether it's work or family, full-time study isn't always possible when you have regular commitments. With its part-time degree programs, the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol offers the opportunity to complete a bachelor's or master's degree and give your career a boost. Lectures are mainly held on Friday afternoons and Saturdays, leaving enough time to pursue a career or take care of other commitments.
- Working students spend an average of 15 hours per week in classes on campus and another 15 hours per week studying on their own.
- A compact curriculum allows students to complete their degree within the standard period of study (6 semesters for a bachelor's degree and 4 semesters for a master's degree).
Study & Career
Studying part-time at the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol does not mean that you must be employed by a company. Rather, the term “part-time” refers to the organizational structure that allows you to pursue a career alongside your studies.
Study & Family
Combining study and family life is possible, as many dedicated students have already proven. The FH Kufstein Tirol has been certified as a family-friendly university since 2012 and attaches great importance to the compatibility of work, study, and family life.
Studying without a high school diploma
Yes, it is possible! You can study for a bachelor's degree even without a high school diploma. The prerequisite is a relevant apprenticeship/dual training qualification or a relevant technical college entrance qualification. In some cases, additional exams in German, mathematics, and English must be taken in the first and second semesters alongside your studies. Supporting preparatory courses are offered for this purpose.
