The Department of Social Policy Affairs deals with issues relating to grants and subsidies as well as gender and diversity. It therefore deals with all aspects of social life, from work, housing and children alongside studies to issues of equal treatment.
So if you have financial difficulties due to your social or family situation, you can find appropriate support here. Of course, this also applies to students without Austrian/EEA citizenship, second-chance students and people who are interested in studying. This department also takes care of students with physical or mental disabilities, from supporting them to enforcing their rights to equal treatment.
Here you can find more information on funding, support, etc. for you.
