What FH CAMPUS 02 does

FH CAMPUS 02 (legal entity: CAMPUS 02 Fachhochschule der Wirtschaft GmbH) is a private University of Applied Sciences founded in 1996 in Graz, Austria. It delivers practice-oriented higher education across five departments — Automatisierungstechnik, Innovationsmanagement, IT & Wirtschaftsinformatik, Rechnungswesen & Controlling, and Marketing & Sales — comprising 8 bachelor's programs, 6 master's programs, and 43 continuing education offerings via its Business School (ZAW). Modular certificate programs include Digital Marketing Expert, Digital Sales Expert, and Pharmacy Management, plus individual university courses priced at EUR 990 each. The institution has produced over 7,000 graduates and operates regional campuses in Liezen and Obdach (the latter in partnership with KRAFT:dasMurtal).

The business model combines public funding as a state-recognized Fachhochschule (supervised by AQ Austria under the Austrian Fachhochschulgesetz), tuition and continuing education fees, and corporate training/sponsoring. Ownership is concentrated: WKO Steiermark (Styrian Economic Chamber) holds 76%, with the remaining 24% split equally (6% each) among GW Beteiligungserwerbs-u-verwaltungs GmbH (GRAWE Group), Industriellenvereinigung Steiermark, Raiffeisenlandesbank Steiermark, and Steiermärkische Bank und Sparkassen AG. Two managing directors — Mag. Dr. Erich Brugger and Mag. Kristina Edlinger-Ploder — oversee operations.

The technology stack includes the C02online learning/portal platform, Microsoft Dynamics CRM for contact management, Moodle for course delivery, and Microsoft Teams for communication. The institution runs the INNOLAB innovation consulting service (free to Styrian companies, financed by WKO Steiermark) and the Josef Ressel Zentrum research center for digital platforms and ecosystems. Customer-facing AI is limited to the Luna KI-Beratungsassistent chatbot for prospective student advisory. The institution is regionally focused, serving the Styrian market through direct-to-consumer recruitment, company days, school outreach, and corporate partnerships with employers including Mercedes-Benz, KPMG, Siemens Energy, NTS, Andritz, ACP, and Saubermacher.

Direct peers

• FH Joanneum: Austrian Fachhochschule headquartered in Graz with a broader portfolio of Bachelor and Master programs across technology, business, health, and design. Direct competitor for prospective students and corporate partners in the same Styrian catchment; comparable business model under Austrian Fachhochschulgesetz.
• FH Oberösterreich (University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria): One of Austria's largest Fachhochschulen with campuses in Linz, Wels, Hagenberg, and Steyr. Offers overlapping business informatics, automation, and marketing programs; competes for the same pool of Austrian Bachelor/Master applicants and corporate training contracts.
• MCI (Management Center Innsbruck): Privately organized Austrian university of applied sciences offering Bachelor, Master, and executive programs in business, technology, and life sciences. Highly comparable in private ownership structure, program mix (business, technology, marketing), and emphasis on corporate engagement.
• FHWien der WKW: Vienna-based Fachhochschule with strong business and technology programs and close corporate engagement through the WKW. Comparable curriculum scope (business informatics, marketing, controlling) and similar dependence on Austrian Fachhochschulgesetz funding mechanics.
• FH Wiener Neustadt: Austrian Fachhochschule offering Bachelor and Master programs in business, technology, and health sciences. Overlapping offerings in business informatics and engineering; competes for the same Austrian applicant pool and corporate training budgets.

Regional players

• FH Salzburg: Austrian Fachhochschule with campuses in Salzburg and Kuchl offering business, technology, design, and health programs. Competes with FH CAMPUS 02 for Austrian applicants but primarily serves the Salzburg/Western Austria region rather than Styria.

Broad incumbents

• Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz: Public research university located in Graz, offering broader academic programs across social sciences, law, natural sciences, and humanities. Overlaps with FH CAMPUS 02 in business-adjacent disciplines but operates at much larger scale and as a public research institution rather than a Fachhochschule.
• Graz University of Technology (TU Graz): Public technical university in Graz with strong engineering, computer science, and automation programs. Competes for STEM-oriented applicants and corporate research partnerships in the same Styrian ecosystem; broader and more research-intensive than FH CAMPUS 02.
• WU Vienna (Vienna University of Economics and Business): Austria's largest business university, offering Bachelor, Master, and doctoral programs with high national and international brand recognition. Competes for top Austrian students seeking business/economics degrees and is a benchmark for FH CAMPUS 02's business-school positioning.

Emerging players

• IU Internationale Hochschule: Germany's largest private university with extensive online and hybrid Bachelor/Master programs including business informatics, marketing, and AI-related tracks. An emerging competitor that does not need physical presence in Austria to attract Austrian and DACH students via distance learning.
