University of Vienna: winter school for Cultural Historical Studies 2027
The topic of the winter school is “The Discovery of Modernity – Vienna Around 1900”. The univie: winter school takes place in Vienna, where traces of the outstanding culture of the late 19th and the beginning of the 20th century are still visible.
The two-week program combines first class academic courses with an extensive social and cultural program. Vienna’s rich cultural heritage, especially the museums, will lead to a thorough understanding of the input of the fin-de-siècle on the modernization of Europe.
This unique program consists of high-level lectures in the morning and guided excursions in the city of Vienna as well as visits to various museums in the afternoon. Vienna also offers visitors plenty of opportunities to explore additional cultural and historical sights, at their leisure.
The academic course environment encourages intercultural and social exchange and favors mutual understanding within the international student population. Participants thus broaden their horizons, meet colleagues from different fields of study, make friends for life and build connections for their future professional careers.
Given the intercultural and interdisciplinary aspect of the program our course offerings are, without question, of interest for students from all fields of study, but certainly of special interest for students who study one of the following fields: History, Cultural Studies, Art, Design, Architecture, Literature, Psychology, and Political Science.
The univie: winter school 2027 will take place from January 29 – February 12, 2027.
Winter School fees are € 1,790 and include registration, tuition, and all planned excursions. Students who are not already enrolled at the University of Vienna must pay an additional fee of € 26.20 to be admitted to the University of Vienna as non-degree program students and to receive insurance coverage (general accident and liability insurance).
The application deadline for the winter school is November 30, 2026.
