A university has no Living Score of its own — what matters is how it is to live around it. The Grätzl around TU Wien average 81/100, around WU Wien 77/100.
Austria’s leading technical university — strong in computer science, architecture and engineering — right in the city on Karlsplatz. Between the Karlskirche, Resselpark and Naschmarkt, studying gets about as urban as it comes.
One of Europe’s most respected business universities, internationally accredited. The modern campus by the Prater — with Zaha Hadid’s sweeping library — is a small world of its own between greenery and short transit hops. International and well connected for students, a name with weight for parents.
