Who we are

NUNSA is the official community for Nigerian students in Austria.
 Since our founding in 1964, we have been a home away from home — helping new arrivals settle in, fostering cultural connection, and creating pathways for academic, professional, and personal growth.

What We Do

Support for new Students

We serve as the first point of contact for every new Nigerian student arriving in Austria.
Our team provides one-on-one guidance, essential information, and coaching on everything from student life to long-term job integration.

Cultural & Social Events

We bring our community together for authentic Nigerian experiences — from grilled corn and bole to Nkwobi nights, music, dancing, and the feeling of home.

Seminars & Webinars

We host intellectual gatherings with experienced speakers to help members integrate academically, socially, and professionally.

Bridge to the Embassy & Austrian Agencies

We host intellectual gatherings with experienced speakers to help members integrate academically, socially, and professionally.

Strategic Partnerships

We collaborate with organisations that help our members access opportunities, networks, and support systems.

Our Story

The National Union of Nigerian Students in Austria (NUNSA) was established on June 5th, 1964, by the first generation of Nigerian students who arrived in Europe after independence.


 They envisioned a strong, united community that supports each new student who comes after them — and that vision lives on today.

Our Purpose

We help new students settle in smoothly by offering clear guidance and building a sense of belonging through cultural and social events. At the same time, our seminars and intellectual gatherings support both academic growth and professional development.

As a community, we serve as a bridge to the Nigerian Embassy and Austrian agencies, stand together in moments of joy or difficulty, and build strategic partnerships that create real opportunities for our members.
