New study places in Tulln: This is how the health sector is strengthened!

Tulln, Österreich - In 2026, the Wiener Neustadt University of Applied Sciences can expect a decisive fresh start at the Biotech Campus in Tulln. In order to meet the increasing demand for healthcare experts, 16 new study places in biomedical analysis (BMA) will be created here. This was announced in a meeting between representatives of the University Hospital Tulln, the FH Wiener Neustadt and the Lower Austrian State Health Agency. From the summer semester, the students on site have the opportunity to start their clinical internships in the Lower Austria and university clinics, such as reported.

The need for this expansion is primarily driven by the upcoming retirement of the baby boomer generation, which means that an acute shortage of skilled workers in areas such as biomedical analysis and radiology technology can be expected. In order to intensify the training in these essential disciplines, the FH Wiener Neustadt has taken targeted measures. From autumn 2025, the bachelor's degree "biomedical analysis" will be offered at the Tulln location. The Noen.at emphasizes that this initiative not only creates a professional perspective for prospective specialists is also improved, but also the laboratory infrastructure of the Biotech Campus Tulln.

An important step for health education

By creating the new study location, Tulln is also further developed as an educational hub, which benefits students from the northern region of Lower Austria. The combination of better accessibility and practical training on site could help promote the health sector sustainably and to manage local challenges. The FH Wiener Neustadt thus sets a significant accent on the future of health professions in order to meet the increasing demands in healthcare.
