With firm roots in teaching and research, the services offered by the Writing Centre promote a high level of academic writing among students and researchers, lecturers and administrative staff to ensure good academic practice and the university’s international competitiveness.
The courses offered at the Writing Centre are available to all members of the university, as well as external users and corporate institutes for research, training and continuing education that want to address their in-house writing and improve their texts.
The university library is AAU’s academic information centre and provides literature and information media for studying, research, teaching and continuing education. Furthermore, the university library also offers members of the general public in Carinthia specialist literature as part of an academic general library. The AAU university library is the largest library in Carinthia. The origins of the library date back to the second half of the sixteenth century. The university library is home to around 950,000 printed books and extensive e-resources.
The Personnel Development and Health Management organisational unit supports the rectorate by providing expertise in personal development and suggesting appropriate measures. The centre is responsible for coordinating internal continuing education at AAU and offering an up-to-date range of continuing education courses each semester. It also organises the basic training courses for new staff members.
Health support at AAU is also provided by the unit. Its aim is to integrate health-promoting measures at all levels of the university and develop as an example for the entire region. The maintenance and promotion of health and physical/psychological well-being among the university’s members is a high priority and engrained in AAU’s key objectives.
The student representative is your first point of contact if you have any questions or problems relating to your programme of study. It offers professional, personal advice and support and also organises other activities alongside daily student life. When you start your programme, it is a good idea to use the services provided by your student representative so you are able to overcome any initial obstacles. You can get personal advice during one of their welcome and info days.
The student representative can send students to the curricular commission, so it also makes a contribution to programme-related agendas, such as course offerings or curriculum amendments.
Every subject has its own student representative.
