Sport, health and leisure

The Department of Sport, Health and Leisure Activities is actively committed to a healthy study environment at the University of Klagenfurt. In addition to sporting activities, we offer DIY workshops such as textile painting and the manufacture of beeswax candles. Our goal is for students to see their physical and mental health as a top priority and to develop an awareness of a balanced lifestyle.

Everyday life is often characterized by high performance pressure and stress. That’s why we see it as our responsibility to counter this pressure with diverse and affordable sports offerings. In the winter semester we organize the academic Ski and Winter Experience Day every year. And in the summer semester there are 4 SUPs available at the Strandbad Klagenfurt. The entrance fee and rental fee are free for two hours. At the beginning of the summer semester there is always our annual bike service, where you can get your wire harness checked. And for excursions you can borrow large picnic blankets from the ServiceCenter. You want more? No problem! The USI (University Sports Institute) offers you a comprehensive range of sports at attractive prices – both on campus and off.

Sport serves as an excellent balance to your studies, which not only promotes physical fitness, but also helps to reduce stress and increase overall well-being. For this reason, we are committed to inspiring students at the University of Klagenfurt to take part in sports activities and to generally motivate them to live a healthier lifestyle.
