Accommodation
Finding the right place to live, is definitely one of the major concerns of incoming exchange students.
The UAS BFI Vienna does not provide student accommodation, however Vienna is a student-friendly city and there are many different types of accommodation to choose from, like student dormitories, private rented apartments or shared apartments.
Since the UAS BFI Vienna is very well connected to the public transport system, it is possible to stay close to the university or in another district.
Depending on the individual course selection, students might have classes at one or both of our teaching locations:
The main building is situated at:
Wohlmutstrasse 22
1020 Vienna (Underground station: Messe Prater)
The second location is situated at:
Media Quarter Marx (MQM)
Maria Jakobi Gasse 1/3.4
1030 Vienna (Underground station: Schlachthausgasse, Train station: St. Marx)
At MQM the courses of the following study programmes take place:
- Digital HR Management and Applied Labour Law
- Film, TV and Media Production
