COVID-19

University life during the summer semester 2021

The University of the Applied Arts Vienna is looking to provide the best possible combination of safety and openness in everyday university life for all students, employees and visitors.

In this spirit, all measures are aimed at upholding in-person teaching as well as on-site research activities to the greatest possible extent while at the same time keeping the risk of infection at Angewandte as low as possible.

Special attention is being paid here to artistic and practical teaching, since doing these remotely would entail especially severe limitations.

Angewandte in Corona-Mode

In the summer semester, Angewandte relies on regular testing and FFP2 masks. The detailed regulations for the university operation in the summer semester 2021 can be read here.

The Rectorate will inform about any changes immediately via mailings to all university members.
