EDUCATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Sports on Campus – We bring students, staff and alumni together in teams, classes and events.
By establishing our own sports club, we’ve been able to significantly expand our sports offerings. Access to sports facilities, benefits related to competitions and events, as well as discounts and insurance coverage are just some of the additional perks for our club members.
We embrace sports as part of the CU community – across campuses and throughout the Carinthian Region. With us, you’ll find not only classes, but also a sense of belonging, motivation, events, benefits and a strong community.
Follow us on Facebook and become a member of our sports club.
