Summary
The privately run Fachhochschulen in Austria have very successfully developed during the first 10 years of their existence. The Fachhochschulen nowadays represent a serious competition for the universities, despite the fact that both types of higher education institutions depend to the same extent on the public purse. The strategy is well documented and has induced competition among universities for student enrollments. One of the largest private northeastern universities saw a 20 percent decrease in new students between 2004 and 2005, the opposite trend to the public sector.
