STUDENT HEALTH MANAGEMENT

As the first university in Austria, we implement the topic of students’ health in organizational structures at the CUAS.

Together with and for you, we want to create healthy and successful study conditions at the CUAS. Within this process, you are also our active co-creators: together, we want to develop and implement interventions to promote students’ health. Therefore, we focus on a holistic approach to health, including the body (exercise and nutrition), mental health and social interaction.    

Evidence shows potential pathogenetic factors to students’ health. Students often struggle with various challenges:

  • a lack of orientation in the university setting at the beginning,
  • pressure to perform,
  • workload,
  • stress or lack of social contact.

We want to support you in overcoming these challenges and promote your health and your ability to study. Because we know – you are pivotal future multipliers in the labor market and our society and play an essential role in health promotion.

  • Establishing structures and interventions to promote and protect student’s health and sustainable
  • Promoting and establishing participation processes
  • Develop behavioral and condition-orientated interventions (based on your needs and requirements) to promote student’s health
  • Evaluating interventions for the continuous development of the student’s health management at the CUAS

The process at CUAS is based on the four steps of the Public Health Action Cycle (PHAC)

  • "You are asked!" - Health survey among the students to assess needs and requirements.  
  • "Get on board and join us!" - Developing interventions based on the health survey results.   
  • "Suit the action to the word" – developed interventions are implemented. Therefore, you are an essential player.  
  • "What did we achieve?" - The developed interventions are subjected to an evaluation.
