Language Buddy Programme

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

They want to help you get started with your studies.

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