The orientation days for international students should guide you through your first days/weeks at the University of Graz. We will offer information about the following topics in our personal orientation sessions, as well as on our new online platform:
- Overview of the bureaucratic steps after arrival
- Visa & residence permit (for non-EU/EEA citizens)
- Health insurance for students & health care in Austria
- Services & offers for students, e.g. public transport
- Course & exam registration online via UNIGRAZonline
- Practical intercultural advice
- Campus tour for better orientation on campus (currently not offered due to Covid-19)
All personal sessions will be offered fully in English.
The number of participants is limited to 54 spots per session - we will give away spots on first come first serve basis. We will get back to you via email in case the event is full. Thank you for your understanding!
