My field of Studies is supposed to be abolished in 3 years. Der Standard (Austrian Daily Newspaper) writes
Weder wurde die Zielgruppe noch die erwartete Zahl an Studierenden erreicht. (the targeted audiance was not reached nor was the expected number of Students fullfilled )
This is a fucking lie! We had more people applying last year than Die Angewandte (really famous Uni for Art and Fashion). We have a capacity of 25 Students a year, everyone wants to get in, and our Professors are really fucking good! People from abroad come to apply at my Uni.
It’s also the only Uni in Austria where you can study Knitweardesign, Hatmaking and Shoedesign.
They really didn’t think this through. If they abolish my Uni, they will KILL Austrias Fashion buissness. The Angewandte takes max. 8 people a year and 99% of them go abroad and make it there. But Students from my Uni are more likely to stay in Austria and get successful here (and they really are successfull, Lena Hoschek was at my Uni). I don’t know what the fuck that is and I certainly do NOT like it! This is screaming for a RIOT!
