Cheaper Studying
Money is always a hot topic among students. We want to support you through a variety of offers:
There are different Exchanges where you can buy and sell various things. ÖH JKU runs a Book Exchange for your old notes and textbooks, a Marketplace for different products, as well as Job and Housing Exchanges.
As a student, you also get free access to Office365 (Word, Excel, and more) through our license, along with many other software products.
ÖH JKU also provides direct financial support:
We offer allowances when money is tight, cover part of your therapy costs for mental health issues through our Mental Health Fund, and our Department for Social Policy advises you on finding further support services.
We’re also helping you save on food: With the Mensa Bonus you enjoy meals in the cafeteria for €2 less!
Sicher durch Studium
Insurance
Part of your student fees goes toward comprehensive insurance: As JKU student, you’re covered for accidents and liability. Whether you get hurt on campus, in your dorm, or on the way between, or if you accidentally damage expensive equipment in the chemistry lab - you won’t be stuck with the bill.
We also look out for your academic safety: Before submitting your thesis, you can get a free, professional plagiarism check from the Department for Student Counseling.
Immer was los
Campus-Leben
We don't want your life outside of studies to get boring; that's why we offer plenty of services for an active campus life!
On the one hand, there are our many events - some organized directly by ÖH JKU, but often also by our Departments and Student Representations.
On the other hand, ÖH JKU also supports independent student groups and accredits clubs that are especially committed to our student community.
And to keep you up to date on everything happening around campus, our Department for Public Relations publishes the ÖH Courier - our very own student magazine.
