Nowadays, universities operations are increasingly international; teachers and students work at a variety of locations, and research and academia are networked globally. How can a university be attractive in an international environment? Which consequences does this have for curriculum design? The new programmes of study at the University of Applied Sciences FH Campus Wien show in which direction we could be heading.
