International students on the rise at Paris Lodron University of Salzburg, counting now 130 nations International students on the rise at Paris Lodron University of Salzburg, counting now 130 nations =================================================================================================== 11 septembrie 2024 Salzburg is one of the most attractive locations for international students in Austria, figures show. And the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg is particularly successful in integrating these students into university life. In the last academic year, 36% of PLUS' students came from other countries. ![](/storage/files/international-students-at-the-plus-elona-memisha-schnappinger.jpg) Photo © Elona Memisha Schnappinger, PLUS In the 2022-2023 academic year, around 64% of students came from Austria, 26% from Europe and 11% from the rest of the world. The average proportion of international students at Austrian higher education institutions is already high - at around 25-27%, but at the PLUS it is more than 36% of the student body. Stefan Lang, Vice Rector for International Affairs and Digitalisation at PLUS, emphasises that the university is very well positioned internationally, compared to many other regional higher education institutions: > *Many of the degree programmes in Salzburg are offered in English, especially at Master's level: 14 of the 40 Master's degree programmes are taught exclusively in English, and this number is set to rise, as we aspire to be a globally attractive, European university",* says the Vice Rector. International students, ambassadors for Salzburg as a place to study -------------------------------------------------------------------- For Peter Mayr, Director of the International Relations Department at the PLUS, international students enrich the academic landscape with new perspectives, cultures and experiences. They promote intercultural exchange, which is so valuable for Austria: > *Our international students are an important factor in the development of Salzburg as a centre of higher education and innovation. Many of these young people stay in Salzburg and are hugely prized by the Salzburg economy as the skilled workers of the future. They are the ambassadors for Salzburg as a place to study and the best advertisement a university could wish for on the international stage",* Mayr states. Through it's work with alumni, the PLUS takes strong initiatives to stay in contact with international students who return to their country of origin after their studies. PLUS welcomes this September the **[CIVIS Days](https://civis.eu/ro/connect/civis-days)**, an annual event that brings together the alliance's community to celebrate our achievements, present our outcomes and discuss our future. **Find out more about the international students at PLUS from the [original story, in German](https://www.plus.ac.at/news/die-paris-lodron-universitaet-salzburg-ist-internationaler-denn-je/).** ### Other highlights this month: [*A week of celebration, marking 160 years since the founding of the University of Bucharest and 330 years of higher education in the Romanian space*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/celebrating-160-years-ub-and-330-years-of-higher-education-in-romania) [*NKUA, climbing the ladder in the US News' Best Global Universities Rankings*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/nkua-highest-place-ever-achieved-by-a-greek-university-in-us-news-best-global-universities-rankings) [*Key archaelogical site researched by the University of Tübingen for over a decade declared "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/archaelogical-site-researched-ut-world-heritage-unesco) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/sustainability2-800x600.jpg?token=4f8890a8bd328fbe98b4c0834a42435e)Sustainability Day 2026 at the University of Salzburg: shaping the future together CIVIS Highlights 28 octombrie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/sustainability-day-2026-at-the-university-of-salzburg-shaping-the-future-together) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/zoe-lefkofridi-1-800x600.jpg?token=3174ddcef585cd03dd9ac99ff44ac6e7)Zoe Lefkofridi: Putting Gender at the Centre of Internationalisation People 13 august 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/zoe-lefkofridi) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/us-veggies-800x600.jpg?token=bd5287ffa4593ac7f475b2712a84c7f1)University of Salzburg’s “Veggie Month” Campaign Nominated for Sustainability Award 2026 CIVIS Highlights 11 mai 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/university-of-salzburg-s-veggie-month-campaign-nominated-for-sustainability-award-2026) [ Descoperiți toate articolele noastre ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom) [ Excellence scholarships for international students offered by UNIL ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/excellence-scholarships-international-students-unil%20) [ Celebrating 160 years of UB and 330 years of higher education in Romania ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/celebrating-160-years-ub-and-330-years-of-higher-education-in-romania%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
