Mobility promotion
You use public transport to get to the university or to your internship? Then we have good news
We, the student body of the Carinthian University of Applied Sciences, support the use of public transportation by providing a subsidy for trips to reach the place of study or the internship site, if an internship is included in the curriculum.
The subsidy is granted for the purchase of ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) tickets, annual tickets, semester tickets or monthly tickets, or for individual trips for the purpose of traveling home during an academic year. During the lecture and exam-free periods (February, July, August and September), a mobility grant is only paid in the case of a compulsory internship according to the internship duration specified in the curriculum and up to the maximum grant amount.
The trips must be related to the studies or the course. Excursions within the framework of studies or a course cannot be funded.
Amount of subsidy:
Pro Semester wird ein Zuschuss in der Höhe von maximal € 50,00 (pro Semester) bzw. € 12,50 (pro Monat) ausbezahlt. Der Kauf einer ÖBB Vorteilscard wird mit 50% des Kaufpreises gefördert. Bei gleichzeitiger Nutzung unterschiedlicher öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel wird der Zuschuss nicht doppelt ausbezahlt. .
Save up to € 100 per academic year if you apply for a mobility grant from the ÖH FH Kärnten once per semester.
