Abstract
The development of Austrian private universities in recent years has been characterized by steady growth in the number of students and new admissions. Private universities have positioned themselves in a variety of ways among state institutions of higher education and cross-border offerings from international institutions. The following essay illustrates the previous development and current state of this newest sector of the Austrian higher education system. In the course of this study, two development phases are differentiated. In addition, research and teaching performance will be examined and the current accreditation requirements for private universities in Austria, as well as their opportunities for development, will be discussed.
