Pinkafeld, the island in the countryside
The friendly atmosphere at the Pinkafeld campus creates a very personalised environment for students. Open service areas, modern seminar rooms, a library and a technically well-equipped energy-environment-health laboratory offer students optimal study and research opportunities.
There is a student hall of residence in the immediate vicinity of the study centre. Catering and shops are easily accessible.
The new "Energetikum" research building at the Pinkafeld campus was built between May and December 2014 at a cost of around 2.24 million euros. The Energetikum offers simulation and test rooms as well as a state-of-the-art centre for management simulation. In this living lab in Pinkafeld, research is now being conducted at the cutting edge of science more than ever before.
Pinkafeld is located at the foothills of the Wechsel massif at an altitude of 399 m directly on the A2 motorway. The town has around 5,200 inhabitants, covers a total area of 27.43 km² and is surrounded by healthy nature that invites you to go forest running, Nordic walking and extensive hikes.
Pinkafeld is a commercial and popular school town, since 1994 also a university of applied sciences town, with a wide range of leisure and sports facilities. Sports enthusiasts appreciate modern leisure facilities such as an indoor pool, outdoor pool, artificial ice rink and a sports centre (tennis, squash, sauna, solarium, steam bath, fitness centre). Away from sporting activities, the commercial businesses offer a stress-free shopping experience, and catering complements the offer. The Oberwart shopping centre is easily accessible.
As Pinkafeld is located in the thermal spa region, a trip to a thermal spa is possible at any time. The thermal baths in Bad Tatzmannsdorf are only about 10 kilometres away. Students have a student residence and numerous private accommodations near the University of Applied Sciences Study Centre at their disposal.
