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.

I'm currently in my fourth semester of the International Business Consultancy bachelor program, which is fully in English and has a highly international demographic. The week-to-week lectures are generally very theory-based but they do provide a solid foundation for business principles that are essential for creating value and ensuring the profitability of a business. What stands out about this program are the professors. A great deal of them are hired externally and have succesful careers in their respective area of business (marketing, finanace, or management.) This has been very valuable because it allows students to network with current business professionals. There are also many opportunites for students with an entrepreneurial spirit. The university is very supportive of students that want to start their own business or have creative business ideas (bonus points if it's a sustainable business idea). I truly believe that students "get back what they put in" when it comes to this program. Also, the university is only 30-minutes by train to Vienna!
- Great University. - Great support system from teachers. - You will meet different nationalities. - Recommendable to anyone. I am a Master student in International Management. This course will help you later for working in Multinationals company and also management level.
