About Us
As the International Affairs Office, we consider student exchanges in general, and Erasmus+ in particular, to be important tools for promoting cosmopolitanism. To this end, we advise outgoing and incoming students at the University of Vienna.
Outgoings
We are happy to advise outgoing students on the various exchange programmes, scholarships and information centres. We are also happy to help you if you encounter any problems before, during or after your stay abroad, for example with registration or discussions with the responsible persons at the University of Vienna.
Incomings
We would like to support incoming students with information about living and studying in Vienna. We offer information on structural issues, such as housing or study conditions at the University of Vienna. On the other hand, we also aim to provide background information and a critical view of university and social policy. Since many incoming students are not familiar with interest groups such as the ÖH, it is also important to us to show them that we can all contribute to changing the often poor and discriminatory study conditions at our university if we work together.
