Combining Theory and Practice for an Excellent Education
A practice-oriented academic education in the diverse degree programs at the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol and cooperation with partner companies prepare students for the challenges of the economy. In return, the partner companies have the opportunity to draw on the wide-ranging potential of the students and the expertise of the teaching staff. The forms of cooperation are diverse: both in the context of practical projects and scientific work that companies can commission, as well as in the form of internships for students and even the hiring of employees.
