Remarks:
  • With HTL as the school name , the whole school is also meant.
  • In many cases, technical schools (ISCED 3, 3–4 years old) and Ä. Connected to the higher departments (5).
  • Higher Technical Federal Institute (HTBL [A]) - HTL sponsored by the federal government
  • ... and research institute ([u] VA) - HTL with an attached research institute .

A higher technical college , or HTL for short , is a vocational higher school in Austria with a focus on technical, commercial and arts and crafts. As a generic term, it stands for either

  • Higher technical college ( HTL , HTLA ),
  • Higher Technical Federal Institute ( HTBL , HTBLA ) or
  • Higher technical federal teaching and research institute ( HTBLVA , HTBLuVA ).

Typical subjects (training areas) are construction wood, chemistry, electrical engineering and electronics, mechanical engineering and textiles. There are a total of 75 HTLs in Austria (as of 2016). An almost complete list can be found in the list of higher technical schools below .

Education system and concerns

Forms of training

Three types of training are typically offered at higher technical institutes:

  • The normal form of the higher departments is usually attended after the eighth grade . The five-year training concludes with the matriculation and diploma examination. After three years of engineering professional experience, the professional title of engineer can be awarded upon request . The matriculation examination entitles you to study at all universities and corresponds to ISCED level 5.
  • The technical schools are mostly four-year courses of the vocational middle school , which (as a rule) are attended after completing the eighth school level - secondary school , more recently new middle school , or AHS lower level . After writing a technical thesis , this form of training concludes with a final examination. The final examination permits regulated professional and trade licenses after two years of professional experience and is comparable to the technician's degree in other countries. The training corresponds to ISCED level 3. In addition, a vocational matriculation examination can be taken. The vocational certificate entitles you to study at technical colleges and universities. The technical schools for arts and crafts and design represent a specialty , these are historically based (trade and / or arts and crafts schools) at the technical colleges in mostly separate departments.
  • Post-secondary special forms of the HTL are offered for people with an apprenticeship , master's examination or Matura in day form or the part-time evening form. These include colleges and master schools (master classes). The duration of the training is staggered according to previous training. Colleges last eight semesters for people with a relevant apprenticeship qualification, six semesters for people with a technical college degree, master's examination, and four semesters for high school graduates. Master schools last 1–4 semesters, depending on the desired professional qualification (such as master craftsman, foreman or another professional certificate). All of these forms are mostly offered at school and as evening school or in the course system in blocks as part-time training. The training corresponds to ISCED level 5.

Training areas

Typical fields are: industrial engineering , civil engineering , wood technology , electronics , electrical engineering , communications engineering , information technology , computer science , mechanical engineering , mechatronics , agricultural engineering , mining , chemical , industrial engineering , textile technology and plastics technology .

In addition, the entire general educational material for the Matura is offered, mostly in applied forms (focus on technical English, applied mathematics).

Relation to universities

Unlike in Switzerland, the HTL was not transferred to the university of applied sciences . The “HTL” training model, which is very successful for the Austrian economy and unique in Europe, should be retained. With the legal establishment of the universities of applied sciences, the opportunity was temporarily created for HTL graduates to obtain the designation "Dipl.-HTL-Ing." : For this purpose, six years of relevant professional experience, the writing of a written paper and an examination before a committee were required a panel of experts required. With this regulation, HTL graduates should be given the opportunity to obtain a higher-quality qualification that takes their training into account before the universities of applied sciences are available nationwide.

For this reason, HTL graduates are offered part-time continuing education courses at universities of applied sciences, whereby two to four semesters can be credited towards the course. Relevant HTL qualifications are also recognized on a case-by-case basis at universities in Austria, but generally to a much lesser extent.

Relation to economic life

The HTLs are run close to business, the technical subjects have a high practical relevance and the students have a professional qualification. The practical school work and prescribed summer internships are mostly carried out in direct cooperation or on behalf of the local economy, and customer contact, presentation and implementation of practical work is the primary educational goal and the basis for grading. HTL graduates - in the higher and middle departments - have excellent career prospects and, if they do not decide on a higher education, can usually choose between various job offers before graduation, i.e. switch directly to business after graduation.

Research institutes at higher technical institutes (HTLVA)

A HTL with an attached research institute is listed as HT (B) L (u) VA . In addition to teaching, these institutions also conduct research and development , standardization and assessment .

This close connection of research and development , vocational training and scientific services under one roof promotes a school education that corresponds to the current economic situation. Most of these institutes are based on the imperial tradition and emerged from the early polytechnic schools , where a teaching research institute (engineering school) wanted to offer relevant training in the school sector. In recent years, the trend towards merging state or agricultural research institutions and schools into competence centers has continued .

List of higher technical schools

Entrance area of ​​the HTL Pinkafeld

The largest technical college in Austria is located in Mödling . With 3,500 students it is also the largest school in Europe. The oldest vocational school in Austria is the HTBLuVA Vienna 5 Spengergasse . It was founded in 1758 by Maria Theresa . The schools are usually subordinate to the education directorate , four of the institutions listed here have, for historical reasons and because of their uniqueness, the status of a technical and commercial educational institution (TGLA) and are directly subordinate to the ministry .

In the last few decades some HTLs have been created within Vienna, some have been relocated or divided. Since the naming concept was HTL Wien [I, III, IV etc.] , the names also had to be adapted. In addition, there was a move to either give the schools expressive names or, if the district remained in the designation at all, to add Arabic numerals instead of Roman numerals or to spell out the district as the district name. (In the table, therefore, the former name of the Vienna HTLs is given in brackets.)
