Programme

The main take away of the entire program can be summarized in a 3C model: competencies, consciousness and confidence.

Indeed, in the first part or the program the main goal is to identify what are the right skills for a leader which not necessary lead to a technical competence in a specific role and/or industry.

After that the goal is to increase the level of consciousness of what a good leader has to be. Then, the ultimate goal is to develop a level of confidence that everybody could become a good leader, even if with different attitudes and skills.

The idyllic environment of the Wachau, its exquisite wines and numerous sports facilities contribute in significant measure to the quality of life of students at the Danube University Krems.

Historic buildings and architecture from the middle-ages in the parts of Krems and Stein show for a meaningful past. The community, already mentioned in 995 as "urbs chremisa", was once the center of salt and wine trading and is one of the oldest towns in the country.

The Danube University of Krems is an ideal starting point for jogging, cycling, playing squash and tennis, or simply for taking a walk through the vineyards. Oarsmen and swimmers can pursuit their hobbies in the nearby Danube River.
