Your place to study
The University of Klagenfurt is located in the very south of Austria in the province of Carinthia, a region known for its panoramic landscape of lakes, mountains and forests. Located right next to the aquamarine waters of Lake Wörthersee, the capital city Klagenfurt has a charming historic centre, cozy cafés, trendy bars, and a vibrant cultural and leisure scene.
If you’re in the mood for a change of scenery, you can reach Italy or Slovenia in just 35 minutes by car from Klagenfurt— perfect for spontaneous getaways with a Mediterranean flair. Even without a car, you’re well connected: buses take you directly to Venice or Trieste, and trains offer easy access to nearby Ljubljana.
