Language Buddy

The student council has launched the ‘Language Buddy’ concept.

They want to help you get started with your studies.

Anyone who has German as a foreign language is welcome to contact studierendenvertretung@stella-musikhochschule.ac.at. The student council will then try to find a suitable language buddy. To ensure that this is as successful as possible, it is advisable to specify the instrument you play and your degree programme.
