Who We Are

UWC Austria is a volunteer association made up of volunteer UWC alumni and UWC friends who share the enthusiasm for the values of the UWC movement and are committed to giving back. Our UWC graduates therefore return the favour for the educational, leadership and growth opportunities they have experienced during their time at a UWC school or college or at a UWC short course.

UWC Austria is part of a worldwide system of UWC national committees operating in over 155 countries. These committees are responsible for the selection of students for admission to UWC schools & colleges. It is a unique system that allows students to be selected from their own communities and cultures who meet the qualities required to be successful at UWC.
