Rathaus

Vienna, once the capital of the powerful Hapsburg Empire, is now the capital of Austria. While the power structure has undergone great change, the city itself has retained much of the charm of the pre-World War I era.
The IES Vienna Center is situated in the Palais Corbelli, an elegant eighteenth century palace in the heart of Vienna. It is just minutes away from the array of museums, theaters, and other major cultural attractions that have bestowed international fame on Vienna. Program Highlights:
Extensive curriculum in the Arts, Humanities, International Business, Economics, and International Relations with a special emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe.
Direct enrollment at the University of Vienna and the University of Music and the Performing Arts for qualified students.
Internships in business and education. Previous business assignments include ACS-Acquisition Services, Aktienforum, Bank Austria Securities, Inc., Sotheby's Kunstauktionen, and Wirl-Consult-Marketing Communications; education placements are in secondary schools throughout Vienna
Field trips to locations such as Berlin, Budapest, Cracow, Prague, and the Danube Valley region.
Internships are available; please see the IES website for more information. This page is referring to the standard IES Vienna's European Culture & Society Program. Students wishing to participate in IES' other option in Vienna, such as enrolling in courses taught at the University of Vienna, should check the IES web-site for any varying dates, fees, and application deadlines and speak to their study abroad advisor.
