Student lifestyle
University town Innsbruck
Vibrant. Urban. Excitingly alpine.
Located in the west of Austria, Innsbruck scores above all with its unbelievable diversity: urban flair, untouched nature, adrenalin-packed adventures. With a stunning mountain world, rustic alpine pastures, a wide range of cultural and sporting activities, trendy bars and cafés, and the very special charm of its inhabitants, Innsbruck is a city that enchants.
Just as the MCI, as an entrepreneurial school, unites science and practice in a synergetic way, the university city of Innsbruck also unites two worlds. The urban world in the valley merges with the sensational, surrounding mountain world to form a wonderful habitat that is appreciated by all who frequent Innsbruck.
Four urban levels - a unique place of study.
1. Young, intelligent, cosmopolitan.
150,000 people live in Innsbruck, 30,000 of them study at one of the five colleges, entrepreneurial schools and universities. Some say that the "Capital of the Alps" is one of the best places in Europe to combine studying with an active and rewarding lifestyle. In any case, it is unique: urban and alpine, with an excellently preserved historic core, surrounded by a huge mountain backdrop that gives the city an almost intimate feel.
2. Pulsating urban space.
People feel comfortable in Innsbruck with the vibrant lifestyle on streets and squares, chilling on the banks of the river Inn, the lively old town and the pedestrianized Maria-Theresien-Straße, avant-garde alpine architecture in conjunction with historic buildings, excellent universities and colleges and all kinds of recreational facilities and cultural activities. Innsbruck offers space to live and study alike.
3. The fascination of the Alps.
A dominant feature of Innsbruck, the mountains around Innsbruck are not only a breathtaking backdrop, but also extend the living space of the city in a special way. Appearing as if at arm’s reach, they can offer snowboarding on Hafelekar, a ski tour on Patscherkofel, a pleasure tour with the mountain bike to one of the nearby alpine pastures, a fast downhill race or pure nature on a leisurely hike.
4. Competence field sports.
Inssbruckers have sports running through their veins it would appear. Newcomers are quick to realize how sports-oriented the population is and are happy to let themselves by infected with this spirit. Including the Youth Olympic Games of 2012, Innsbruck is the only city in the world where the Olympic torch has been lit four times (Olympic Winter Games 1964 and 1976, Winter Paralympics 1984). Furthermore, the annual Bergisel-jumping, the Air & Style-Event, the UCI Road World Championships as well as many other activities and events reflect the athletic competence of Innsbruck.
