Study in Vienna

Vienna, the historical capital of the Habsburg monarchy for over six centuries, is a vibrant and exciting place to live and study and is an impressive repository of culture and heritage. According to the Economist, it is the third most livable city in the world due to its exceptional safety records, education quality, recreation possibilities and political-economic stability.

Vienna offers a perfect blend of imperial traditions, nostalgic charm and stunning modern architecture. A walk along the Ringstrasse boulevard with its splendid buildings and historical palaces is an indescribable experience. Vienna is home to one of the world’s leading opera houses and is internationally acclaimed for its cultural and social events such as the New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonics and numerous balls. After visiting some of Europe’s finest museums, traditional cafés are a good place to relax and experience the typical Viennese charm.
