Mission and Benefits

The Asian Study Programmes are designed to procure international and intercultural competence and related soft skills for students and young university staff, with a focus on the Southeast Asian region. Furthermore the Asian Study Programmes aim to strengthen your academic profile and to provide a unique access to the respective country. That is why the classes cover historical, social, political, cultural and economic issues. The courses include final exams and are credited at Austrian universities.
Besides lectures from prominent Asian academics, you have the chance to meet government officials and top representatives from the business communities. Due to the strong contribution of our partners in Southeast Asia, the summer schools have become to a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity for young people interested in discovering the uniqueness of the Southeast Asian region.

Dr. Johannes Hahn, Former Austrian Federal Minister for Science and Research

Studies abroad do not only give access to new knowledge, but also provide a good opportunity to interact with other cultures and living styles and to establish contacts for the future life. Until the year 2020 fifty percent of all university graduates should have performed at least one stay abroad for study, research or training purposes. Short and well-structured programmes like those provided by ASEA-UNINET often serve as initialisation of a series of longer stays abroad or as basis for a more intensive interaction with the culture of the host country. Thus they will also provide new chances and opportunities in a continuously internationalising job market.

Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Töchterle, Rector of the
University of Innsbruck

As Rector of the University of Innsbruck I recommend participation in the Asian Study Programmes as a unique opportunity to combine an interdisciplinary academic programme offered by distinguished teachers from ASEA-UNINET member institutions in Asia and Europe with the enriching experience of discovering Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand or Vietnam.

Mag. Markus Beyrer, Director General, Federation of Austrian Industries

Asia is one of the future regions for economic growth and despite recent troubles remains a focus point for Austrian industry. Therefore the Federation of Austrian Industry highly appreciates any initiative encouraging young high potentials to spend a study period there.
