A green campus close to the city centre that combines modern and historic buildings. Creative academics and committed students with an eye on the future. A comprehensive programme that supports family friendliness and well-being. The University of Graz is a unique place to work. As is the package of benefits from which employees of the University of Graz benefit.

 

The benefits start with travelling to work: the University of Graz promotes sustainable mobility in particular. This means that those who travel by bike or public transport enjoy benefits including a 50 per cent subsidy on the Styrian Climate Ticket or an inexpensive, well-equipped bicycle.

Family-friendly university

A whole range of offers help to achieve a good work-life balance. Flexible working time models, working from home and mobile working are fixed components of the catalogue of measures adapted to the job. Support with childcare and for family carers is exemplary. The University of Graz has been a certified family-friendly university for many years.

Health checks, free immunisation campaigns and exercise programmes on the green campus promote physical well-being. As does an extensive catalogue of courses offered by the University Sports Institute.

Career development

At the University of Graz, the latest knowledge is created every day, which forms the basis for top-class further education. Whether languages, work organisation or digital skills - employees can use the latest research findings for their careers. In addition, UNI for Life, the continuing education company of the University of Graz, offers part-time programmes in a wide range of subject areas.

Employees also benefit from discounts at partner companies and retail outlets, including the university bookshop, Fintess studios and neighbouring restaurants.
