Was GBS recommended to you by a graduate?
We have a special treat for both of you!
If a friend of a former GBS-participant joins GBS 2025 on the basis of the regular participation fee, the graduate gets to spend 1 week in a fully furnished OeAD-Guesthouse in Vienna in July or August 2025- for free!*
How does it work?
When applying for GBS, you need to enter the name of the graduate in the application form - (in the field "where have you heard about us from"). After you have been sucessfully enrolled in the program, the graduate will get notified by us on their stay.
If the graduate chooses to visit during GBS 2025, they can also share the time in Vienna with you and make some new memories in one of the most liveable cities in the world. The graduate is also welcome to visit our public events :)
We are looking forward to welcoming both of you!
*Terms and conditions:
If a friend of a former GBS-participant takes part in the GBS Summer University in 2025 on the basis of the regular participation fee, the GBS graduate is entitled to a stay in an OeAD-Guesthouse in Vienna for 1 week during July-August 2025. The name of the graduate must be included in the application form when their friend applies. All costs related to travel to and from Vienna and costs for Visa are NOT included.
