-
Special features regarding the international orientationThe Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences is part of an international network and cooperates with a large number of partner universities worldwide. A separate International Office deals with international matters. The degree programme in Sustainable Energy Systems has coordinated options for 1-2 semesters abroad with the University of Agder. Further cooperation arrangements are being actively developed. FHV has a doctoral agreement with the University of Agder under which PhD students from Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences are supervised by Agder and can spend some of their time as PhD students in Agder. FHV has founded the RUN-EU network.
