The town of Bruneck-Brunico, with approximately 14,000 inhabitants, is the most important town in the Pustertal-Pusteria Valley. There the Campus of the Bachelor in Tourism, Sport and Event Management and of the Master in Tourism Management of the Faculty of Economics and Management can be found.
Since the end of the war, Bruneck-Brunico has been constantly developing so that it has become a real economic centre and the home of many industrial, commercial and handicraft businesses. The most important economic sector is tourism. Therefore, both in Bruneck-Brunico and in the outlying villages, there are very many modern tourist facilities, as well as numerous restaurants and bars. The heart of the area’s winter tourism is the local Kronplatz-Plan de Corones mountain which soars 2,275 metres above the town.
Over the last ten years Bruneck-Brunico has also developed as an important centre for art and culture. Initiatives in the cultural sector include exhibitions of famous artists, theatre festivals, and concerts, as well as a variety of cultural projects and shows conceived and organised by young local artists.
Bruneck-Brunico offers ideal conditions for sports activities in every season. In winter, cross-country skiing, ice skating and hockey are particularly popular. The excellent lifts at Plan de Corones are perfect for skiing and snowboarding. In summer, Bruneck-Brunico is an ideal starting point not only for walks across green meadows and mountains, but also for high-altitude hikes and climbing in the nearby nature parks of Rieserferner, Fanes, Senes and Braies.
In Bruneck-Brunico we offer two study programmes: the Bachelor in Tourism, Sports and Event Management and the Master in in Tourism Management. The campus is located in the heart of the town, offering students a stimulating environment full of opportunities.
In addition, the presence of the NOI Techpark in Bruneck-Brunico, an innovation centre focused on sustainable production and mobility, further enriches the students' experience. The NOI Techpark, opened in 2023, is located on the former industrial area of Bruneck-Brunico and hosts automotive companies, start-ups and research institutes, creating an ideal ecosystem for the development of ambitious projects. This collaboration between universities and local companies fosters knowledge exchange and innovation, offering students hands-on learning and networking opportunities.
