There are several points that contribute to my great time at this study programme. First, the class consists of students from various backgrounds which makes classes very engaging and interesting. You learn so much from each other and most of us became very good friends outside of the university. Second, the professors bring years (and many of them decades) of real-life experience to the courses they teach. The shared content is a perfect mix of theory and their actual experience of how this content is applied in the industry. Lastly, I want to point out that I could apply most of the content I learned to my work life. I did not start my job with the feeling of being a freshly graduated student who now needs to learn how things are done in real life, but through the very practical training as well as the experience from the professors, I felt very well prepared for my professional career.
Coming to USTP was more than just starting a degree, it was the beginning of finding myself. I came in unsure, a little overwhelmed, but quickly found a place where I felt seen, heard, and challenged in the best way. The professors didn’t just teach, they believed in me. I still remember the moment my lecturer told me, "You have something unique, use it." That changed everything. I went on to lead a student media project that got recognized at a national event, something I never imagined doing before. Campus life felt like a family. From late-night study sessions to creative workshops and international friendships, it was a mix of hard work, laughter, and growth. St. Pölten gave me more than an education, it gave me confidence, purpose, and unforgettable memories. If you’re looking for a place that will help you find your voice and push you to grow, this is it.

Commimg to this university was one of my best decisions. This school offers an international educationa and an overall international experience. The study programme is up to date we are learning the most recent things in a given field. Also as an applied sciences university we have a more practical educatiom. We have to do presentations, communicate with companies, and do different projects. Our professors are from all around the World.

It made my life easier by giving me the chance to work and take my master degree at the same time, the staff was very cooperative and supportive, but I hope they can focus more on the thesis pat with the students.
