Welcome Days at the beginning of the semester
If you've just arrived here in Krems, then our Welcome Days have been specially designed for you.
Starting off on the right foot
We are putting together a diverse programme for all new international students at the beginning of each semester: a meet and greet, city sightseeing tours around Krems, team-building activities, intercultural workshops, and excursions.
The student union summarised useful tips in their Survival Guide: general information about our university, and the cities of Krems and Vienna.
