🎓Hit the books! How do you rate the university experience?

Can you enroll in a course where you can learn the local language?yes

Does the university offer enough courses in English?it's alright

Are your credits converted?no

Was there anything in the teaching methods that surprised you?The classes were always in a pleasant atmosphere and the teachers were helpful with anything. However, I was surprised that the courses had lower credit ratings compared to the content of the work they required. You have to work harder and get less credit for it than at MUNI. They're also quite particular about attendance. Attendance is 80% in seminars.

Does the university offer international students' programs and activities outside of lectures and seminars to help them integrate more quickly?Yes, I was very happy with that ESN Salzburg is very active. Both before and during the semester there are plenty of events where you can meet new people and places.

In which areas does the university offer support for students with special needs and strive to be inclusive?Barrier-free access to classrooms and dormitories
I haven’t noticed
