Salzburg has a long-term reputation as an outstanding center for education and training. The reputation remains strong with the many Salzburg study abroad programs offered in all sorts of areas.

Popular Subjects to Study. Some of the most popular programs include tourism, the arts, and German. Many German programs allow students to live as a member of an Austrian family, and take immersion language courses. If you’re interested in the tourism industry or hotel management, you’ll find some great programs in these fields here — some even offer a three-month internship, so participants can learn their trade in a beautiful and thriving location.

Short Term vs. Summer vs. Long Term Programs. From a few weeks to a full year, how long you stay in Salzburg depends upon your program and course needs. If learning German is your priority, then staying a full academic year will benefit you the most. You’ll find listings for semester, year, and summer opportunities for study abroad programs in Salzburg. You can find everything from ballet workshops to political studies programs.

Attending Universities vs. Other Program Types. You can choose to enroll directly in courses through University of Salzburg, Austria or one of its many other higher education institutions, like Salzburg College. Students might also study in Salzburg through their own university or through a program provider. Consult a study abroad advisor at your university to help you determine which type of program fits your needs.
