About Burgenland University of Applied Sciences

Established in 1994 in eastern Austria, the Burgenland University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule Burgenland — FH Burgenland) is a pioneering public Austrian university of applied sciences celebrated for its practical academic model, progressive cross-border dimension, and distinct zero-tuition policy. Situated across two modern regional campus hubs in Eisenstadt (the state capital of Burgenland) and Pinkafeld (the technological and ecological hub), FH Burgenland educates over 7,700 regular and continuing education students across five dynamic departments: Business Studies, Information Technology, Energy & Environmental Management, Health Sciences, and Social Work. FH Burgenland is uniquely distinguished as one of the very few universities of applied sciences in Austria that does not charge standard tuition fees for regular bachelor's and master's degree programs, extending this €0 tuition exemption equally to domestic Austrian, EU/EEA, and international third-country students. With cutting-edge research entities such as the Energetikum living laboratory in Pinkafeld, extensive English-taught master's degrees (such as European Studies – Management of EU Projects and Sustainable Energy Systems), and integrated student dormitories like ÖJAB-Haus Eisenstadt, FH Burgenland provides an accessible, world-class education focused on employability, sustainability, and European integration.
