Study qualification course
studying without a diploma
Anyone who has decided during their schooling to start vocational training or attend a technical school instead of the Matura is not automatically excluded from the possibility of studying.
With the new two-semester "study qualification course", the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences wants to enable people without the Matura to study. The offer is primarily aimed at applicants with relevant professional qualifications, who thus acquire the necessary additional qualifications and thus obtain the right to study at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences.
New career prospects and opportunities
Studying at CUAS is characterised by a strong connection to practice and cooperation with companies. Practical experience already acquired supplements the course contents and a completed University degree course offers many new career prospects and opportunities, also for interested persons with a teaching or technical college degree.
Job and studies
During the one-year study qualification course at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, knowledge in german, english, mathematics and a study-related subject is made up for. The course is held at Campus Villach. The courses take place two to three times a week in the evening, depending on the required subjects, thus enabling working students to enter university. The education voucher from the Chamber of Labour (Bildungsgutschein der Arbeiterkammer) can be redeemed. Furthermore, there is the possibility to apply for a regular scholarship at the scholarship office (Stipendienstelle).

Campus & Anreise
Villach
The Villach region combines tradition, cosmopolitanism and quality of life with the advantages of an innovative business location. Villach, a small town with about 60,000 inhabitants, is an international high-tech location with groundbreaking cooperation between science and industry and is also increasingly developing into a start-up town.
Situated directly at the intersection of three cultures, Villach, situated on the Drava river, is an important traffic junction in the Alps-Adriatic region. This special geographical location and the beautiful landscape around Villach and in the federal state of Carinthia have made the region a popular holiday destination for generations, further beyond the borders. The drinking water quality of the lakes and the particularly clean air make Villach and its surroundings an environmental paradise.
In addition to its geographical advantages, Austria also leads the world in terms of its social and health care system and is considered a particularly safe, prosperous and liveable country.
Despite the above-average prosperity and the comprehensive state social benefits, Villach compares favourably with many international destinations. The "small town bonus" comes into its own here and makes everyday life affordable.
