We shape the industry of tomorrow

In coordination with other higher education institutions, CAMPUS 02 has always placed a strong emphasis on connecting work and study — a distinctive feature that sets CAMPUS 02 apart from other higher education institutions. Through the Degree Programmes in IT & Business Informatics and their focus on software engineering, CAMPUS 02 has offered the following degree programmes in Graz: An extra-occupational Bachelor’s since 2006, an extra-occupational Master’s since 2008 (formerly a diploma degree programme from 2000 to 2006) and a cooperative Bachelor’s in Business Software Development since 2018.

The university of applied sciences Bachelor’s in Business Data Science contributes to meeting the increasing demand for informaticians on the labour market in a sustainable manner. The Bachelor’s provides training in software and web development, data and information visualisation and data science in particular. In addition, a highly business-centred approach is used in all course units to make the knowledge and skills conveyed especially practice-relevant.

The work-friendly full-time organisational form of the Bachelor’s offers students who do not aim to enter the labour market straight away a smooth transition to work life. Its special organisational form permits professional activities through the combination of intensive weeks at the beginning of the semester and attendance-based days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) during the semester.

To gain international experience, students can choose to study their fourth semester abroad at the University of Zagreb. As of the fifth semester, students do an internship, write Bachelor’s theses at and in cooperation with businesses and work on practice-relevant assignments provided by partners from the industry.

Campus Life

CAMPUS 02 offers the best learning environment that you could wish for.

If you want to be successful in your studies, excellent quality in teaching is not the only prerequisite. A good atmosphere which you feel comfortable in is also key. Our breakout learning spaces, indoor and outdoor recreation islands, modern and up-to-date auditoria equipment and library with specialist literature create just that.

Modernity meets history at CAMPUS 02. Whilst the villa – a heritage-listed building – could tell stories from long ago, the new building extension reflects its own exciting architectural accent. The perfect setting for your studies.

Community Life

Captains and lecturers from successful companies accompany you on your personal academic journey, providing the ideal combination of theory and practice. In addition, projects assigned by clients shape business relationships. Study extra-occupationally and learn from the best.

City Life

In the very heart of Graz, yet surrounded by a breathtaking landscape.

Graz is the much-loved study destination – where science, business and culture co-exist. And not without reason: it boasts more than 50,000 students at 8 universities and has the highest concentration of universities within all of central Europe.

It positions itself as a City of Design, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a city of human rights. Home to important regional and international companies, it is the economic centre of Styria and south-east Austria, whilst also offering a high quality of life for those who live, work and study here. It is no wonder that Graz is by far the fastest growing urban area in Austria – simply the ideal location in which to live and learn.
