Enhancing qualifications and gaining international experiences
After completing a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in International Law at Taras Shevchenko National University in Kyiv, Polina Maslova sought to broaden her horizon by enrolling in the Master’s degree programme International Management at the University of Klagenfurt. Driven by a desire to enhance her qualifications and gain international experience, she chose Austria for its excellent education system and quality of life. In Carinthia, Polina chose a programme that perfectly integrates her legal background with new business insights, advancing both her professional and personal development.
“The range of courses offered immediately appealed to me”
“I first developed an interest in business topics while I was still at school at HAK International in Klagenfurt, which is where I completed my secondary education,” Miriam Wiltsche recounts. After graduating from high school, she opted to further expand her knowledge in the field of economics with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Innsbruck and subsequently pursued her Master’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Klagenfurt. “From the very beginning, it was clear to me that a Bachelor’s degree would mainly teach me the basics, while a Master’s degree would allow for deeper specialisation,” she explains.
The University of Klagenfurt takes first place in the “Student Diversity” category of the Global Student Satisfaction Awards
After winning one of the coveted prizes in 2021, the University of Klagenfurt was again successful at this year’s award ceremony. It won the award in the area of Student Diversity and was able to hold its own in the global final round against the University of West Florida (USA) and the Prince of Songkla University (Thailand). As a result, the University of Klagenfurt is the only university in the world to win a Global Student Satisfaction Award twice in a row.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards were presented for the seventh time this year. Studyportals evaluated a total of 126,000 university reviews, 1,114 universities were rated. Universities cannot apply to participate in the awards; it is the students alone who decide whether a university is successful. Prizes are awarded in a total of seven categories: Overall Satisfaction, Student-teacher interaction, Quality of student life, Career development, Student diversity, Online classroom experience and Admission process. In 2021, the University of Klagenfurt received the special prize for best Covid crisis management, which was now followed by the prize for Student Diversity.
The Student Diversity category describes how friendly and diverse the atmosphere at a university is and how successful a certain university is in integrating people from all over the world at the university.
Doris Hattenberger, Vice-Rector for Education, is delighted with the prize: “In my view, the best award a university can receive is one where students feel welcome and comfortable at our university. We understand diversity as a source of enrichment and are glad to see that we are successful in putting it into practice. Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this award. Namely our lecturers and the many colleagues in the administration who make every effort on a daily basis to ensure that students feel welcome and well looked after here. I would especially like to thank the students who have given us such a good report card. We will not let up in our efforts to become ever better.”
