Student Life & Environment

Student life reflects CAMPUS 02’s strong population of working and part-time students. Many classes are arranged around employment, so the social rhythm is likely to center on cohorts, project groups and concentrated Friday-and-Saturday teaching rather than a fully residential weekday campus. Program offices and the central Study Service and International Office support students with administration throughout the study cycle. Academic resources include a library with approximately 12,000 printed items, databases, e-journals and e-books. Enrolled students can access many electronic resources remotely, and the library provides research consultations and training. Other documented services include IT support, accessibility assistance, student representation, merit-scholarship administration, a company job board and the Skills Academy. Psychological support includes access to four weeks of institution-supported online counselling, alongside Austria’s public psychological student counselling service. The ÖH student representation serves as an intermediary between students and the institution and organizes activities. International opportunities include Erasmus+ study and internships, summer schools, study trips and language trips. CAMPUS 02 does not advertise an institution-owned residential system. Its housing guidance instead directs students to external residences and private-market resources and recommends applying early because accommodation in Graz is in high demand. This arrangement gives students citywide housing choice but requires more independent planning.

Location & Surroundings

CAMPUS 02 is located at Körblergasse 126 in Graz, with teaching and offices distributed among the Zusertal, Rosenhof and nearby WIFI buildings. The main complex includes lecture rooms, the library, laboratories and administrative services. Because the facilities occupy several neighboring buildings, students should check the room prefix and campus map when planning their first visits. Official directions identify bus lines 39, 41, 62 and selected 62X services near the campus. Line 39 terminates by the Styrian Chamber of Commerce, while the other listed routes stop on adjacent streets or near the Chamber and WIFI grounds. Parking in the surrounding complex is chargeable, making public transport a practical option. Graz has eight higher-education institutions according to the city government, creating a substantial wider student environment beyond CAMPUS 02. The city highlights connections among higher education, research, business and culture, as well as public transport, cycling routes and access to green areas. Students should nevertheless assess commute times from prospective housing because CAMPUS 02 does not operate as a residential campus.

Costs & Career Outcomes

The newest explicit institutional fee schedule located is dated September 2025 and remains applicable until revoked. It sets regular tuition at €363.36 per semester, payable in advance, plus the compulsory Austrian Students’ Union contribution. The nationally published contribution for the applicable period is €25.20 per semester. These amounts do not include housing, food, transport, insurance or personal expenses. A different schedule can apply to students from third countries who are outside specified equal-status groups and hold a Residence Permit–Student. The CAMPUS 02 guideline sets their semester charge between €726.72 and a program-category maximum: €5,500 for business bachelor’s programs, €6,500 for technical-economic programs and €7,500 for technical programs. International applicants should request a written individual classification before committing, because nationality, residence status and program category affect the charge. CAMPUS 02 publishes no comprehensive attendance budget. Austria’s official Study in Austria service estimates average student living expenses at approximately €1,300 per month using 2025 survey data published in 2026, including an indicative €450–€700 for accommodation. This is a national planning estimate, not a CAMPUS 02 or Graz guarantee. The university advises residence applicants to apply by April for winter intake and private renters to begin searching at least two to three months before moving. Career preparation centers on applied projects, internships, company-linked theses and employment-compatible study. Students and alumni can use an online company job board, and the institution held a job and career fair in April 2026 for employment, internship and thesis contacts. No verified institution-wide placement rate or graduate salary figure was found, so outcomes should be evaluated by program and personal work experience.
