About Linz

Linz is the third-largest city of Austria, and the capital of Upper Austria. Though a modern city, Linz has a long and eventful history. The architecture of its developed city centre with the baroque Hauptplatz is unique. Some top attractions in Linz are:

  • Ars Electronica Center
  • Pöstlingberg (pilgrimage basilica)
  • Musiktheater Linz at the Volksgarten
  • Lentos Art Museum
  • Main Square and City Center
  • Voestalpine Stahlwelt
  • Schlossmuseum and Old Town
  • Mural harbour

More on these can be found on Linz Tourismus.

The Johannes Kepler University

Young, but oh so impressive. At just a little over 50 years old, the JKU has experienced quite a bit - and has a lot to offer: an outstanding selection of academic degree programs on one hand and on the other, it is a place to be happy. And instead of scattering faculties and departments throughout the city, almost all of the departments are available in one, well-designed modern location. In addition to shorter distances and being able to save time getting from one place to the other, the campus environment supports one important thing in particular: communication. Students and professors spend time together both in and out of the classroom.
