At its meeting on July 24, 2025, the University Council elected German architecture theorist and university lecturer Dr. Ulrike Kuch as the new rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Kuch is currently vice president at the Bauhaus University Weimar and will take up her post at the University of Applied Arts on November 1, 2025, for a four-year term.
Ulrike Kuch has been Vice President for Social Transformation at the Bauhaus University Weimar since June 2023. Kuch studied architecture at the Bauhaus University Weimar, the Teknillinen Korkeakoulu Helsinki (now Aalto University), the Technical University of Berlin, and the Berlin University of the Arts. She received her Dr. phil. in 2014 with an interdisciplinary dissertation at the Faculty of Media at the Bauhaus University Weimar, where she has been working as a research assistant (Chair of Theory and History of Modern Architecture; since 2024 Chair of Art and Cultural History) since 2015.
“Becoming Rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna is an enormous honor and joy for me. For over 150 years, the University of Applied Arts has been combining art and society, which is what makes it unique. It is a leading international art university and combines art, design, and science in a special way. Like hardly any other institution, it is therefore in a position to reflect on the big questions of our time. I am very much looking forward to continuing this work together with students and staff.”
