The University of Graz not only offers a wide range of programmes in six faculties. There are also six good reasons to start a degree programme at Austria's second-largest university:

Research campus: research and research-led teaching is what the University of Graz is all about.
Shaping the future: Scrutinising yesterday, reflecting on the present and providing solutions for tomorrow.
Asking questions: Knowledge begins with questions - not just any questions, but the right ones.
A great little city: A little bit of everything, with lots of charm and short distances.
Full of art and culture: from the Literaturhaus to the Kunsthaus via the Murinsel to the Lendwirbel
In the best location: Whether to the mountains, to neighbouring towns or to the south - now even faster with the Koralmbahn.
