new design university
The New Design University St. Pölten (NDU) was founded by the Lower Austrian
Chamber of Commerce and its business development institute (WIFI) in 2004. As
an international, real-life site of high-end education in design, engineering and
business, the NDU trains creative thinkers who advance social change and explore
tomorrow’s processes of work and design today.
The NDU stands out for its high level of personal supervision, attaching special importance to the combination of theory and practice. Imparting business skills is
another matter of great importance at the private university in St. Pölten.
T HE LOCA T ION
Currently still housed in the main WIFI building, the New Design University is set
to move in to the new Technology and Design Centre in autumn 2014. The lightflooded new building has ample room for lecture halls, workshops and laboratories on two storeys, creating the ideal setting for inspirational encounters and a
pleasant, creative atmosphere. Students at the NDU have access to all WIFI facilities, including various workshops, for example for carpentry and metalworking.
The NDU’s cutting-edge equipment is of course also available to all courses
(photo studio, audio/video lab, event equipment, and much more).
The Uni is easy to reach by car, bike or public transport, with excellent local facilities (two shopping centres and the event venue VAZ St. Pölten are just around
the corner).
The second New Design University base is the NDU Fabrik on the former Glanzstoff company site in the north of St. Pölten. The roughly 1500m2 large former
factory is currently used as a gigantic, shared creative loft: students from various disciplines work in groups or on joint projects, in a shared space with a unique,
unmistakable ambience. Most of the creative courses, events and student project exhibitions take place here.

AD M ISSION R E Q UI R E M EN T S
In order to enrol for a bachelor’s course, applicants must usually have A-levels.
Applicants may also enrol for design-related courses if they have completed an
apprenticeship. Applicants without A-levels may also be admitted to the NDU if
they display exceptional artistic, creative aptitude.
In order to enrol for a master’s course, applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree.
Applicants may also enrol for extra-occupational master’s courses with A-levels
and appropriate work experience.
Another condition is that applicants pass an entrance examination to test their
aptitude for the particular discipline.
Depending on previous education, it is possible to start a bachelor’s degree course
in the second or third semester. Credit models and details on the entrance examination can be found at www.ndu.ac.at. We will be happy to advise you in person or

S T UDYING
IN S T. P Ö LT EN
St. Pölten has more potential than you might suppose at first glance: the provincial
capital and main educational centre in Lower Austria, the city offers excellent infrastructure to all students. Several halls of residence and a wide range of sports facilities make your time studying in St. Pölten one of exciting encounters. The growing
cultural scene with the Festspielhaus and Landestheater, the Cinema Paradiso repertory cinema, vibrant festivals (FM4 Frequency), concerts and clubs (VAZ,
Warehouse) lend the city its special character.
But St. Pölten also boasts excellent transport links. All neighbouring conurbations
are easy to reach by car and public transport. Expansion of the western railway line
has now brought the capital Vienna within easy reach too: the train journey between
St. Pölten and Vienna’s Westbahnhof now takes just 24 minutes!
LIVING IN S T. P Ö LT EN In the immediate vicinity of the NDU Fabrik in Herzogenburger Straße are two
modern halls of residence (Campus Domus, WIHAST), with a third located right in
the city centre (Kolpinghaus St. Pölten).
Living in St. Pölten is far less expensive than in Vienna. Numerous landlords offer
flats suitable for sharing or studio flats to suit student budgets. The St. Pölten
accommodation service provides regular information about private rooms and
apartments, that are usually let with no commission.
