This advisory service is aimed at prospective and current students who would like to learn more about flexible study options. In particular, we present the University of Salzburg’s Major-Minor study model, which allows students to combine a major subject with a minor subject or complementary competences. The goal is to help students develop an individual academic profile tailored to their interests and career aspirations. We also provide information on supplementary study programmes (“Studienergänzungen”), which can be completed as part of the elective course requirements and are awarded with a certificate from the University of Salzburg.

The Career Center at the University of Salzburg supports students throughout their studies and helps them prepare step by step for their transition from university to professional life by helping them explore career options, develop an individual skills profile, and establish connections with the working world. Our services range from individual counselling and coaching (such as CV reviews and career orientation support) to credit-bearing courses and free workshops on topics including artificial intelligence, job applications, self-management, and leadership. Networking events provide opportunities to connect with employers and alumni. At the Student Service Center, we provide information about these services and answer questions related to personal development, career planning, and professional opportunities.

During the Global Engagement consultation sessions, students at the University of Salzburg can learn about opportunities and funding options for both short- and long-term study-related stays abroad. The sessions also serve as a point of contact for international incoming students seeking information about studying in Salzburg. The consultations are hosted by different members of the Global Engagement team, who share their expertise on the University’s diverse international mobility programmes and study opportunities, including CIVIS, Erasmus+, university partnerships, ISEP, and mobility scholarships by the University of Salzburg. They can also direct students to the appropriate contact persons for specific enquiries.
