Urstein Campus
The courses of the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg take place at the Urstein Campus in Puch, which is close to downtown Salzburg. The attractive building complex was completed in 2005 in lushly green surroundings and in close proximity to the baroque Schloss Urstein and the medieval Meierei. The modern building with its architecturally striking „head“, which houses the library, provides an ideal setting for your studies. A station of Salzburg‘s rapid-transit railway is located directly at the campus, from where you can reach Salzburg‘s city centre within a few minutes.
Techno-Z Campus
The courses offered by the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (PLUS) take place in the modern building of the PLUS Department of Computer Sciences at the Techno-Z Campus in Salzburg/Itzling. In addition to the CS Department of PLUS, the Techno-Z Campus houses high-tech firms, institutes of higher education and a residence hall for students.
