The below information is required while
completing the university application :
International applicants for undergraduate programs at Ostschweizer Fachhochschule (OST University of Applied Sciences) must have a valid secondary education certificate, demonstrate proficiency in German (typically at the C1 level for most programs), and have relevant work experience (such as a one-year internship or apprenticeship). A resume, a letter of motivation, and, depending on the program, particular technical or artistic skills are frequently important prerequisites.
Know moreEastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, or OST, offers extensive, free career services aimed at improving students' employability and bridging the knowledge gap between academia and the working world. Key support includes customized counseling on application documents and job searches, professional networking opportunities with industry partners, and alumni mentorship.
The Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST) is a significant university founded by the amalgamation of FHS St. Gallen, HSR Rapperswil, and NTB Buchs. It is recognized for its high-impact, practical research and strong linkages to industry, boasting more than 170 years of combined tradition.
OST won several awards for sustainable technology in 2024–2025, such as the 10,000 CHF prize for the SelfCat self-regenerating catalyst for reducing emissions and the Hivoduct pressurized air cable for efficient power transmission.
Two Innosuisse Innovation Boosters were awarded to researchers in the Advanced Materials and Processes (AMP) group: one for the development of reactive aluminum granules as fuel (Apricot366 project) and another for the direct conversion of CO2 into solid carbon (ChemCarb project).
A team of 17 specialists from the IET Institute of Energy Technology at OST Ostschweizer Fachhochschule is leading national and international power-to-gas and power-to-X projects. The development of methods that transform excess renewable electricity into storable energy sources like hydrogen (power-to-hydrogen), synthetic natural gas (power-to-methane), or liquid fuels (power-to-liquid) like methanol is the main focus. Power-to-X technology can be used to generate renewable, energy-based fuels (e-fuels), such as for the aviation or shipping industries, or to store electricity on a seasonal basis. In this way, the team contributes significantly to the energy transition and promotes the creation of sustainable energy systems.
The microgenerators in the energy-autonomous encoders of Baumer Electric emit a voltage pulse when magnets pass, waking up the ASIC EARC developed by IMES. After reading the current angular position from a FRAM and modifying it based on the pulse polarity, the ASIC writes the updated position back into the FRAM before going back to sleep.
At IMES, a demonstrator for acoustic levitation and particle control has been created. By creating standing ultrasonic waves between two speaker arrays, levitation has been accomplished. In order to compute the phase changes in real time, their system uses a hardware accelerator on a Xilinx Zynq MPSoC.
