The Future Starts with Us

USTP – University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten celebrates its 30th anniversary.

For three decades, we have been shaping the future – with attitude, courage, and impact:

• Applied research that goes beyond campus
• Teaching that prepares students for tomorrow
• Knowledge transfer that connects regions and Europe

In this anniversary year, we focus on what distinguishes us: the people who shape this university – yesterday, today, tomorrow.
