Welcome! Handbook for new students at the University of Liechtenstein
Dear Students
Dear new fellow students,
A very warm welcome at the University of Liechtenstein. I would like to complement you on your decision to choose the University of Liechtenstein to fulfill your academic and professional goals. You will see and hear many new things throughout this next days and weeks – and you will experience a new awareness of life through your studies and the life here at campus. This handbook was set up by the students office SPINNEREI in order to give you some orientation for your first days and weeks and also various inputs to frame your students life.
We are very happy to have you here!
We are proud to have you, as responsible and innovative personalities, as new students in this – in many ways unique – house. During your studies you will be able to experience involving, personal and open support and assistance. Please do take the offers, work hard and commit yourself to what you do, celebrate your success and enjoy the pleasant, cooperative and international atmosphere. We are pleased to be able to guide and accompany you throughout your studies and wish you a lot of success and fun.
A new academic year has started for you at a new university and this brings along a lot of questions. We – the student`s office SPINNEREI – therefore tried to answer some of your possible questions in this handbook. You will find a lot of useful information regarding studies, leisure time and campus life on the following pages. Studies always bring a lot of effort and learning but we are of the opinion that it is equally necessary to enjoy your time and relax! That`s what we are here for: «events and more» is our slogan and we feel responsible for your student‐life outside of lecture rooms. We organize events, excursions, go‐kart‐tournaments, poker nights and much more for you! But every student initiative is worth just as much as their members, therefore we would be happy if you shared your ideas and inputs with us to make our offers even more suitable for you. We are looking forward to getting to know you personally soon – at the BBQ tonight, anytime in our office or wherever we meet on campus: we are there for you and your concerns. We wish you a very good start at the University of Liechtenstein and see you soon,
Kind Regards,
Yours,
Klaus Näscher Rector

Use of the binding machine is available free of charge to all students. Student IDs/international student IDs Student IDs can be collected from the Central Service Office approximately one week after submission of the personal data form. The student ID is always issued for the current semester. The ID can be extended each semester following the payment and booking of the student fees. The first ID is free of charge – a fee of CHF 20.00 is charged for the replacement of lost IDs. International student IDs can be ordered from the CSD: The following is required for this: a completed form (available at the CSD); a current passport photo; CHF 20.00 The IDs are generally issued within a working day. Certificates of study Student certificates of study as well as application forms for exemptions (military service) are available free of charge from the Central Service Office. Architecture students should please apply directly to the Institute of Architecture and Planning for their certificate of study. Certificates of study for the current semester can only be issued once the semester fees have been paid and booked. Grade transcripts can be ordered at the CSO – it usually takes one or two working days for these to be issued. Post The CSO is not a post room! We ask students not to have post sent to the university address, but to instead use their private address. Thank you!

Studium ‐ Permits
IMPORTANT!!! All students who have requested a residency permit in Liechtenstein must register at their community of residence within two weeks of moving to Liechtenstein. The certificate must be handed in to the CSD! If you leave the country for more than six months (e.g. internship, semester abroad, etc.), the permit must be returned! Because the residency permit is a short‐term residency permit (L‐ Bewilligung), it can only be issued for the period of one year. After this year, you must make a new application! Anyone wishing to take on a job in Liechtenstein during their studies is asked to first contact the Department for Permits, as special regulations apply to students regarding working hours, permits, etc. After completing your degree or when moving away from Liechtenstein, you MUST return the residency permit!

The Institute for Entrepreneurship offers several very interesting events, which university students can attend at discounted prices or free of charge.
Businessplan Competition The University of Liechtenstein’s Business‐Plan Competition is organized jointly by the Institute for Entrepreneurship and the Affiliated Institute SME Centre.

Entrepreneurs’ Day As the showpiece of entrepreneurship in the Rhine Valley, the Entrepreneurs’ Day is intended to offer recipes for success and impulses for decision‐makers, entrepreneurs and people interested in business! That is why the Entrepreneurs’ Day attracts a broad public. Students studying for their Master of Science in Entrepreneurship are welcome to attend this event each year and thus enjoy a unique opportunity to experience first‐hand how business ideas are born and to meet important businesspeople from the region. For further information vistit www.unternehmertag.li.

Studies – Study Abroad
Exchange Semester Would you like to study, cook and party with students from all around the world? You can experience that and more during a semester abroad. We have a large selection of partner universities for you to choose from in Europe and further abroad. Please take a look at the list at uni.li > Quicklinks > International Office. The European Union’s Erasmus Programme provides assistance to facilitate a semester abroad. Applications for the winter or the summer semester must be submitted by 1 March of the respective academic year For students of economic sciences, the third semester is considered a good time to go abroad. Important: you need to have already obtained 20 ECTS credits by the time you register for a semester abroad! Students in the Master’s degree programme in Architecture are obliged to spend their third semester abroad. The requirements are also listed on the International Office’s home page.
Foreign internships An internship abroad will give you the opportunity to apply what you have learnt during your course so far. What makes it so interesting is that you do this in a foreign environment and become acquainted with an infrastructure different to the one you know from home, while at the same time becoming familiar with another hierarchal structure and corporate culture.
Internships within Europe are supported by the Life Long Learning Programme. This involves arranging your own internship. Our website has links to numerous internship exchanges. We would be happy to let you draw upon our contacts and assist you in preparing your application. You will need to submit your application at least four weeks before starting your internship.

Campus Life – Buddy Program The Buddy Program is a support program aimed at providing assistance to the new international students by assigning them a so‐called Buddy. Buddies are mainly local and experienced students that are commited to give a helping hand to students of a different cultural background. In doing so, the integration of the international students into the cultural‐, social‐ and academic environment in Liechtenstein is actively promoted. Furthermore, the Buddy Program encourages the mutually beneficial exchange of ideas and accordingly the intercultural dialogue. In line with the Buddy Program, the international exchange students (where desired also the regular international students) are assigned a „Buddy“ who concerns him‐ or herself with the assistance of the newcomers. Thus, the support program pursues to ensure that the initial and crucial phase of the student`s stay runs smoothly. We are convinced that a well‐run beginning facilitates success and satisfaction among the international students. Among the many reasons for participating in the Buddy Program are: > > > > > > > > >

Since I arrived to Liechtenstein, I started to meet people from all around the world. I never imagined that one of the best trips of my life was going to be a farewell trip in Greece with my German Buddy and my first and best Chinese friend. It's amazing that even though we come from cultures, countries and continents completely different, I feel I know them since a long time ago. After 5 great months together, now each of us takes different journeys through life, this has been difficult, but the most rewarding is knowing that I will always be welcome in Germany and China by great friends. Its not a goodbye, its just a see you in the future…Saludos! Ana Paula, Mexico

Campus Life – Buddy Program Never had I imagined that I would meet so many friends from different cultures before I came to liechtenstein. It was a wonderful and unforgettable semester during which I encountered different cultures and met my most valuable friends in my life. There is for sure something magical about Liechtenstein. How else can it happen that this country brought together a Chinese, a Mexican and a German, each of us from a different continent? We have done a lot of great stuff. I will miss this experience and it is one of the most valuable memories in my life. Greetings! Oscar, China

Campus Life – Support Support structures Past experience has shown that students can find themselves in difficult situations that require special support and/or professional advice and assistance. Alongside subject‐ and content‐specific support for students, it is also clear that there is further requirement for advice and support in various regards: Health‐related aspects Psychological aspects Teaching‐related psychological aspects Legal aspects Gender and diversity aspects Financial aspects Conflict management The support concept is based on a close‐knit support network that includes professionals from both inside and outside the university who work in the various disciplines. A team of representatives is available as a direct point of contact and to act as intermediaries for students who find themselves in difficult situations. Those seeking advice can freely choose a member of the support office to turn to. As part of the direct contact between the member of the support team and the student, specific support options are explored, and the people/institutions identified that can provide the right support. The support team comprises of: Name Martina Herberstein

Campus Life – Parking Lots
Parking area management on the univerity campus A fee will be charged for the use of all parking areas on the Vaduz Campus parking areas on the Vaduz Campus and at the off‐campus locations. The income from the parking area management will be channeled towards a university mobility management scheme as part of the university’s sustainability initiative.
Operating hours: Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Sunday and public holidays for free)
What are the rates? The standard rate for parking across the entire site is CHF 0.50 per hour. A day permit costs CHF 1.50 for students and CHF 2.00 for lecturers and employees. The costs decrease further with semester, monthly and annual parking permits.
How does it work? Parking fees can be paid in cash at the central parking meter (current standard rate of CHF 0.50/hour). Alternatively, cashless payments can be made using the ParkingCard system, available throughout Switzerland (www.parkingcard.ch).
How do I obtain my ParkingCard permit? As frequent parkers, students, employees and lecturers can purchase parking permits online or directly from the university. In every case, it is necessary to register the vehicle registration number(s)in advance on the intranet. Tariff
