The University of Vienna offers its 90,000 students over 15 different departments with numerous programs to choose from for their studies. Founded in 1365 by Duke Rudolph IV, this is one of the oldest universities in the German-speaking region. With a renowned history to build upon, the University of Vienna is one of the largest in all of Europe and is especially known for its Humanities field.

The campus used to be a general hospital, so the architecture is a startling blend of old and new, rendering a look which is unlike any other academic institute in Austria. Its location in the 1st district makes it nice and central, and the main building is grand and striking; even if you aren't studying there, you should check it out!

In contrast to the ageing design of its neighbour in the 1st district, the Vienna University of Economics and Business is a whirlwind of modernization and cutting-edge technology. Many remark that it feels more like a modern art exhibition than an academic institute! Specializing in business, economics and international management (among many other programs) it’s a superb institution for virtually all students. Programs: Business, Economics and Social Sciences, Business Law, International Management, Marketing, Quantitative Finance and many more.

It’s 3.5km east of the city centre (just off the banks of the Danube) and can be easily accessed by bike or public transport.
