Academic Profile
The study center of Salzburg College is located in the heart of the Old City. It occupies a 16th century town house, situated on Ursulinenplatz, a small square, flanked by a historic city gate and one of Salzburg's famous Baroque churches. From the top floor library, there is a spectacular view of the city, across the street are the pleasant embankments of the Salzach river. The five-story building includes classrooms, offices, library, lounge, and dining room, music practice space, photo labs and an art studio that can also serve as a gallery. Students have classes, study, and take their lunches at Ursulinenplatz.
The close vicinity of public, educational and cultural institutions, allows for easy integration of classroom study and on-site experience which is a major objective of the Salzburg College program. The University Library and other research facilities (e.g. Mozart Archives) are all located in walking distance. Ursulinenplatz is also just down the street from the main intersecting point of the Salzburg public bus system which will greatly facilitate the commuting to and from the Austrian host family homes.
