'''Introduction:'''

Even though the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is a small university, this does not mean that it lacks any kind of potential. Quite the contrary, due to our size different opportunities can be quite easily taken. This includes different classes held by various departments, research and developments projects done for various major companies like Skidata, Sony, Daimler, etc., and events like Ludecat, Robothon, etc. The Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is divided into two campuses.

Students receive training in different disciplines of Engineering, Business and Social Sciences comprising Tourism, Business Management and Social Work, Design, Media & Arts and Health Studies. With its international orientation and focus on innovative research and teaching, the university is a pioneer for future-oriented courses and practice-oriented solutions for business and society.

The campus offers an start up office aswell, and also an start up incubator is settled here. Once a year there is the SEA (Startup Executive Academy 2018). One major task of the FH Salzburg is, that it connects graduates with companies directly. Our campus has dedicated its teaching towards innovative ideas. At the start-up center, students can take a mentorship to develop their idea into a business model. [[File:Kuchl.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
