It is common for students not only to study, but also to have various jobs. However, if there is a second passion alongside a degree that requires just as much time as the degree itself, it often becomes difficult to manage it. Especially when the second passion is including professional training, such as competitive sports.
Since April 1, the University of Technology Vienna has been cooperating with the KADA. Competitive athletes studying at the TU are supported by individual supervision in the compatibility of sport and training, as well as in the transition to a professional sports career.
The KADA study support program Studies Performance Sport (SLS) includes
- Study orientation and study choice
- Individual semester planning
- Vocational counseling by trained supervisors throughout the entire apprenticeship
- Networking sport and education
In addition, the SLS provides support on any organization, for example in creating more flexible study options.
Competitive athletes studying at the TU Vienna are already enjoying this possibility. In order to be accepted into the SLS study support program, it is necessary to fulfill the KADA qualification criteria. Students who wish to participate in the program should send their application to KADA as early as possible before the start of the semester.
Futher informations covering the SLS student support program offered by KADA can be found here.
How will you get supported?
Students receive academic supervision and are supported in organizing their studies, combing the sport and individual traing. The support is tailored to the individual situation of the athlete.
Who can join the KADA/SLS program?
The program can only be offered to fulltime students. As a basic requirement, the qualification criteria writen by KADA must be reached.

I am pleased to cooperat with the KADA. We are hoping to provide, young people who are enthusiastic about sports, the opportunity to combine their two passions - technology and sport - in the best possible way. This allows our athlets to build up a second source of income for their after-sports career.
