The University of Applied Science and Technology (UAST) is a type of higher education institution that focuses on providing students with practical, hands-on training in a specific field or industry. These universities typically offer programs in technical or vocational fields, such as engineering, computer science, or business, and may also have a stronger emphasis on research and development. UASTs are generally considered to be more career-focused than traditional universities, which may place more emphasis on theoretical knowledge and the liberal arts.
