Erasmus+ study exchange in Vienna successfully completed! Academia students participated in a short study exchange at the prestigious Webster Vienna Private University between 22nd and 28th June, where they enriched their academic knowledge, attended professional workshops and experienced a true cultural immersion in the Austrian capital.
First day: arrival and exploring the city
After the morning assembly at the bus station in Maribor and the journey by Flixbus, the students arrived in Vienna, where they checked into Wombat's City Hostel Vienna. After a short break, they set out in the afternoon and evening to explore the city independently – from museums to traditional coffee houses.
Second day: getting to know the campus and programmes at Webster
On Monday, 23rd June, the students headed to Webster Vienna Private University, where a varied morning programme awaited them: a campus tour, presentation of the university and a detailed explanation of undergraduate study programmes, which could be a potential path for continuing their studies abroad. After lunch, students were able to speak individually with staff in the admissions office, whilst in the afternoon they began working on group projects at the hostel. In the evening they had free time for additional exploration of the city.
Third day: Vienna through the eyes of a guide and special lectures

Fourth day: Career development and preparation for the future
Wednesday was entirely devoted to career development. In the morning, students participated in career training – a workshop for improving their curriculum vitae and individual CV reviews. After lunch, job interview simulations followed, where students received concrete feedback.
Fifth day: Podcasts, diversity in media and continuation of the Vienna tour
On Thursday morning, students attended an intensive workshop on podcasts, led by Mario Kainer. In the afternoon, they participated in a lecture on media, society and diversity, whilst in the evening the second part of the guided city tour took place, where they viewed landmarks from a different perspective.

On Friday, they visited The Social Hub Vienna, where they toured the premises and learnt about the operation of the company, which combines youth accommodation, coworking space and a business environment. In the afternoon, they devoted themselves to completing and submitting their group assignments at the hostel.
