Project Management - CUAS University in Austria

Project Opportunities

In a fast-paced world companies constantly face new chal-lenges that need to be overcome. During the lecture “Project Management” students are provided with theoretical knowledge on project manage-ment tools, methods and systems – supported by a project supervision to foster performing teams.

To provide valuable practical insights CUAS students get the opportunity (4th semester, bachelor) to work on practice-based projects in cooperation with partners from business and industry.

A CUAS project coach supports the teams project progress and acts as point of contact for both – business partners and students.

Do you also have projects for which resources are lacking in your day-to-day business? We look forward to hearing from you

PMA certification

Due to the increasing "projectification" of the economy, appropriate project management know-how is becoming more and more important in the working world. The "pma/IPMA certification" is a globally recognized qualification in this area, which is considered a seal of quality and offers added value for professional life. The FH Kärnten offers students of all fields of study or alumni (max. 1 year after graduation) the possibility to take the exam for the certification (Level D).
