12.3.2 Universities of applied sciences
Universities of applied sciences offer practical training at the
Bachelor’s and Master’s level for professionals, most of whom
have professional certification and have already gathered experience
in their trade. In addition to normal teaching, these universities
conduct research and development projects with private
companies, in particular smaller and medium-sized companies,
and provide advanced training courses to local enterprises.

As a result, universities of applied sciences have partial responsibility
for regional science and technology transfer and therefore
are in continuous interaction with the industry. They have a large
pool of teaching, research, development and services competence
which is strongly geared to clients, markets and practice. In
their role as research institutes, they are supported at the national
level by the CTI Innovation Promotion Agency and by the Swiss
Federal Institutes of Technology and universities.
