Our benefits for teachers

Innovation through exchange

Our full-time and part-time professors and lecturers at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria are not only experts in their fields, but also committed mentors for our students. We are convinced that the direct exchange between lecturers and students is a source of inspiration and learning. This close collaboration creates a valuable exchange that not only imparts knowledge, but also promotes new ideas. This results in a personal and tailored learning experience from which our students and lecturers benefit in the long term. Being close to our students is the key to our mutual growth.

Practical orientation as a success factor

At the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, we attach great importance to close networking with renowned partners from business and industry. This network opens up a wide range of opportunities for our students - and of course for you as lecturers - for practical projects, lectures, excursions or joint research projects. Practice is therefore an integral part of our knowledge transfer in order to optimally prepare our students for their professional careers and turn them into industry-leading experts. This unique combination of theory and practice makes the learning process lively and tangible.

Teaching quality at the highest level

We are aware that a first-class education makes all the difference. This is why we have established the Institution for University Teaching. Here we are committed to continuously optimizing teaching at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. Our offerings range from inspiring events such as the University Didactics Expert Forum and the Teaching Day to practical workshops. With target group-specific further training - e.g. for part-time lecturers or for supervising academic theses - and special training courses, such as voice-fit training, we offer individual support for you.

On the pulse of digital teaching

At the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, we attach great importance to constantly adapting our teaching to the latest findings and using digital technologies effectively. This is because the use of innovative technologies creates an even more interactive and flexible learning experience for students. This is why we also offer you as a lecturer special support in this area, covering topics such as digital teaching, student activation in online lectures, e-exams and much more.
