University of Liechtenstein

The University of Liechtenstein was established in 1961 through the initiative of business and the State under the name “Abendtechnikum Vaduz”. It is funded by the State and various business organisations. Over the years, the institution has developed from a university of applied sciences to a university in 2011.

The University of Liechtenstein acts as an innovation centre for shaping the future. In numerous projects and programs, it provides impetus for the economy, politics, and society.

800 students from 40 nations. One of the best student-tutor-ratios in Europe. 30 instead of 300 fellow students with you in class. These are just a few facts about the University of Liechtenstein. And even more importantly, we are an innovative thinking space for business and architecture in the heart of Europe. Here, you study in accordance with Swiss and international quality standards. Personal, practical, future-oriented and with the best prospects for your academic or professional future.

Research at the University of Liechtenstein is conducted with the objective to acquire knowledge, which gets transferred for the benefit of business and societal development. The institutes conduct research within four selected focus areas. Research projects, which receive support from national and international research funding institutions, focus on areas with a high degree of relevance for Liechtenstein and the region. The scientific utilisation of newly acquired knowledge happens through publications in scientific books and journals. Research funding is of key importance in the support given to the younger generation of academics. 

The career service job exchange offers a variety of job opportunities (internships, entry level, etc.) for students in Liechtenstein, the region and worldwide. In order to support students optimally in their career planning, career service offers workshops and individual career coaching with experienced consultants. In addition, we provide assistance to students with questions about formal requirements and regulations regarding employment in Liechtenstein and many other topics.

On top we have a "Career Day Finance” that serves as a platform for companies from the financial services sector and students - for getting to know each other personally and exchanging ideas.
