Webster University Vienna has the unique distinction of being accredited as both an American and an Austrian university. Webster Vienna was founded in 1981 at the invitation of the mayor to serve the international English-speaking community. In 2000, it was one of the first private universities to earn Austrian accreditation under the new private university accreditation law.
The campus overlooks the Danube River near the Vienna International Center (headquarters of the United Nations and its agencies). Currently the campus enrolls approximately 500 students from more than 60 nations.

Students don’t need cars in Vienna. The public transport system is extensive and reliable. The city’s opera houses, cafés, famous architecture, and centuries-old cathedrals share city blocks with English language cinemas, shopping centers, and nightclubs.
The airport is reachable by public transportation. Students also receive discounted public transit passes and routinely visit places like nearby Austria, Hungary, and Italy.
Vienna is a mecca for winter and summer recreation including biking, baseball, beach volleyball, cricket, rugby, hiking, boating, and swimming. Ski resorts are close by for a day out on the slopes.
