Klagenfurt is a modern and liveable city with almost 100,000 inhabitants and mediterranean flair. Those who study here decide to move their center of life to Carinthia. And thus make a good choice! With the numerous offers, the study-life balance is not neglected. You need an energy kick between two lectures? Treat yourself to a cappuccino in one of the cafés and restaurants around the university or use the time to attend a sports course at USI.
No long distances. On campus, the lecture halls, library and cafeteria are not far apart.
Whether in a student dormitory or privately in a shared flat: You have the possibility to live close to the university!
Klagenfurt offers many cultural, sport & leisure activities. From the university you can be at the lake in a few minutes and quickly in the city.
Tastes good! The restaurants around the campus will ensure that you come through the day stronger. Our cafeteria cooks sustainably, cheaply and well. Our commitment to sustainability and regionalism has even been recognized.
Your future is important to us! The Career Service advises students and graduates on questions concerning the world of work and career topics. Many students are already employed while they are still studying.
We support students in combining studies and family. The AAU’s Family Service advises students on all questions concerning children and family and provides support in questions of compatibility and care.
