Austria (not Australia!), the country of Mozart, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the “Sound of Music”; skiing nation and home to the famous Sacher chocolate cake. But also a central European hub, a geographical, economic and cultural bridge between East and West in Europe! A small but dynamic country with a thriving economy acts as the innovation and technology leader in many areas. An attractive region seeking engineering talent. Your education destination and the starting point of your career!

There are many things we could tell you about Wels, such as its central location, the great infrastructure, the good job opportunities in Upper Austria and the economic strength of the region. Wels has a notable size (for Austria ;)) which means that you’ll find everything you need here, without the city being too big and overwhelming.

But you can easily find out this information yourself. We would like to give you a few insider tips about what we and especially our students can experience every day in Wels and at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Wels Campus.
