DUAL CAREER NETZWERK
STYRIA - CARINTHIA
The cooperation between Styrian universities and the University of Klagenfurt aims to pool resources and expertise within the framework of a professional dual career service. With our consulting services backed by a strong network, we support you as a couple or family in matters of professional re-orientation.
The Koralmbahn railway line, with a journey time of 41 minutes between Klagenfurt and Graz, is creating a new metropolitan area that strengthens our cooperation and thus expands your opportunities.
OUR OFFER FOR YOU
Career, relationship, family, and mobility - it is definitely not easy to deal with so many different priorities at once. So the five Styrian universities and the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt have joined forces and set up the so called “Dual Career Service” at each institution to assist you in these matters.

WHAT OUR DUAL CAREER COUPLES SAY ABOUT US
STARTING IN STYRIA
As far as area is concerned, Styria is the second-largest federal state of Austria and with regard to population the fourth-largest. Styria is divided into several regions – the largest one by area is in the north, called “Obersteiermark” (Upper Styria). To the south, west of the river Mur, there is “Weststeiermark” (Western Styria). “Oststeiermark” (Eastern Styria) is located south of the “Wechsel” and the “Fischbacher Alpen”, east of the river Mur. And between “Oststeiermark” and “Weststeiermark” there is Graz, the capital of Styria.
Styria is also called the “Green State” or the ”Green Heart of Austria”, because 57.2% of the land area are covered with wood and one fourth of the total area consists of meadows, pastures, orchards, and vineyards.
