The University College of Teacher Education Vienna places great emphasis on the teaching profession as its focal point. Education, training, and continuing professional development, combined with research, ensure that the evolving demands of teaching and related educational professions are met in a sustainable and forward-thinking manner. These efforts are grounded in educational science, teaching methodology, subject didactics, and teaching practice.
Our exceptional strength lies in the interdisciplinary integration of research-based educational competencies, spanning all educational fields and age groups. This strong connection between academic knowledge and professional practice ensures that future educators are well-prepared for the challenges of a dynamic and diverse educational landscape.
Urban Diversity Education (UDE)
is a pioneering educational concept that focuses on the diversity of Vienna’s urban society. It fosters understanding and appreciation of cultural, linguistic and social diversity as well as different life realities, aiming to create an inclusive and equitable education system.
As an Urban Diversity Education (UDE) Campus, our university acknowledges and embraces the diversity of learners, educators and teaching environments. Committed to equity, inclusion and digital transformation, PH Wien ensures that all students benefit from an education that is both academically rigorous and socially responsible. UDE advocates a holistic learning and working culture, where everyone – faculty, staff, students and external partners – feels safe, respected and valued. The university is not only a space where diversity becomes visible but one that fully embraces it. This approach extends beyond knowledge transfer: it fosters an inclusive community where mutual learning, open communication and social responsibility take center stage.
With state-of-the-art facilities, media labs, and digital learning resources, our campus provides an interactive and collaborative learning environment, equipping future educators with the skills to inspire, innovate and lead. Whether in administration, teaching, or student life, UDE encourages everyone to contribute to a culture of diversity, built on respect, empathy and equal opportunities.
