The campus of AUBG is urban. This means that students study closely to the sights and the entire recreational infrastructure of the city.

Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. Thanks to international exchange programs at AUBG, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
