The Austrian Student Union (ÖH) at the Universität für Angewandte Kunst (hufak) represents the interests of all students of Angewandte and represents you in committees, offers advice and organises events. Therefore, we are looking for new assistances in the departments Art&Theory and PR! 

The ÖH Angewandte (hufak) currently consists of about 15 persons. We work as a team as well as independently in the respective referats. In addition, the ÖH is represented in all committees of the university. Working at the ÖH gives you a good insight into university structures and allows you to get actively involved in politics. Bring in your visions, for a solidary university life and for better study conditions for all!

Solidarity with non-EU/EEA students

We stand in solidarity with Ramiro Wong and all non-EU/EEA students. Although the Angewandte has found an transitional solution for the winter semester 20/21, we need long-term solutions! The change in the tuition fee regulations poses acute financial and existential problems for students. These problems are not new to many, but accompany non-EU/EEA students throughout their entire studies. The fact that non-EU/EEA students have no free access to the job market as well as little or no opportunity to apply for grants and scholarships, further intensifies the precarious circumstances.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left art students with stretched resources, without access to workshops and studios, and with cancelled exhibitions and virtual degree shows. The arts and culture have found new ways through hyper digitalisation to mediate art to a non physical audience. With the new rules of conduct and restricted freedom of mobility, students have been forced to move inward, and to confront their inner thoughts and imagination in a new way. Despite all the negative effects, the pandemic allowed for much needed time to reflect critically on the capitalist economic structures and the exploitation of natural resources, which led to the outbreak of the virus and the global devastation that followed.
