List of student associations in Innsbruck

This list contains an enumeration of all known student associations in the student city of Innsbruck . With a population of around 130,000, there are more than 35,000 students at currently seven universities. In addition, in Austria, school associations mostly refer to themselves as student associations. This led to the founding of the comparatively large number of more than 50 corporations, which in turn are networked with one another in various forms. Most of the information on this list comes from the (linked) homepages or Wikipedia articles of the associations and associations concerned.
