Study in Vienna

Vienna: an ideal centre for international studies

As the capital of an EU member state and location of one of the headquarters of the United Nations and other international organisations (IAEA, UNIDO, OSCE etc), Vienna is ideally suited for the study and analysis of European developments in the context of global relations. Its geographical location and Austria's historical relationship with its neighbours make Vienna a unique place for studying developments in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe.
