Austrian Arbitration Academy Summer Program

The Austrian Arbitration Academy Summer Program is an intensive two-week program on international commercial arbitration. Developed for law students interested in dispute resolution and young practitioners, the course intends to offer firsthand insight into arbitration. The course covers all aspects of arbitral proceedings, starting with an introduction to the prerequisites of arbitration. Further modules will focus on the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, the conduct of the proceedings, the arbitral award, as well as the challenge and enforcement of the said award. Students will be introduced to the legal framework of international arbitration, arbitral rules, and relevant case law. The last module is entirely dedicated to investment arbitration. The Austrian Arbitration Academy Summer Program takes place in the last two weeks of July on our campus, located in the picturesque village of Strobl in the Salzkammergut region, one of Austria’s most attractive summer vacation areas. The unique experience is enhanced by an extensive extracurricular program including sports courses (windsurfing), mountain hikes, and excursions.

A Guide to Study Abroad in Salzburg

How to Study Abroad in Salzburg

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.

Amazing Experience In Paris

January 29, 2026by: Audrey Colen - United States

Program: Study Abroad and Discover the World with AIFS!

When I decided I wanted to go abroad, I was nervous about a lot of things. First off, I was scared that when I went abroad I would have to settle for a location I did not want to be in because I needed my credits to transfer over. Luckily AIFS had a program in a wonderful city with a bunch of classes that would transfer back to my home university super well. When I chose this program, I was overjoyed but nervous about living in a homestay. When I got there I was happily surprised to find that my host family was amazing and provided me with an experience I would not have been able to have if I had been in a dorm/apt. The people that I met in the program were some of the coolest people I have ever known and am happy to call them my friends to this day. If you are looking for a great program in Paris where you have the freedom to meet new people, travel, and find yourself in a new place, I would 100% recommend this to you!

I highly recommend this program!

Program: AIFS Abroad in Salzburg, Austria: Summer

I studied abroad in Salzburg, Austria this past summer 2025. In comparison to many other program providers, AIFS has a ton of amazing choices for shorter length programs like summer and January term. Summer term was a great option for me because my major requires several important classes during the term on campus. From before departure through my time in Salzburg our program coordinators and instructors were amazing! They were so helpful, easy to work with, and excited to help us build connections and experience Salzburg. My program offered dorm-style housing which was a great way to meet people in program as well as other international students. The Salzburg program had a ton of awesome excursions scheduled for us which ranged from a baking class to taking a weekend trip to Vienna! I improved my language skills by getting involved in a German speaking community, gained more confidence solo traveling, and developed my communication skills by building relationships with some great friends I made and some members of the Salzburg community. I would recommend this program to any students who are looking for a program that has a good balance of structure and free time. I would also recommend this specific program to students in humanities majors. I'm a History Major with a Minor in Art History so I especially enjoyed the Austrian Folk Art and Folk Customs class where we got to visit a bunch of amazing museums!
