Situated across four specialized regional campus locations in Carinthia — Villach (Headquarters, Engineering & IT, Business), Spittal an der Drau (Civil Engineering & Architecture), Klagenfurt am Wörthersee (Medical Engineering & Health Sciences), and Feldkirchen in Kärnten (Social Sciences & Psychosocial Care) — CUAS educates over 2,600 students across more than 50 bachelor's and master's degree programs.
