Dusán Oluic, a bachelor's student in Energy & Sustainability Management, shares how he attempts to keep the balance between his studies and basketball: "You can say it's like a real job, but I never thought of it that way. Basketball is something I really enjoy and love to do. I can't imagine my everyday life without the sport. In my studies, we deal with very interesting and current topics related to sustainability. My fellow students and the teachers are great, which makes the whole study experience even more pleasant. The course schedule and training times fit together perfectly, so the mix of sports and studies in Kufstein is ideal for me."

Jakub Hussain, Bachelor student in Marketing and Communication Management, is delighted about the award he received: "I come from Lower Austria and although there are numerous options for studying in the region, as well as some basketball teams in the higher leagues, it was clear to me that I wanted to take advantage of this unique opportunity in Kufstein. This combination of studies and basketball is unique in Austria and I am very grateful to have received the 'crunch-time award' and can therefore fully concentrate on the two things that are very important to me. This motivates me even more to achieve top performance in both areas."
