The Johannes Kepler University not only offers modern contemporary academic degree programs; the university also consistently revises programs to create new, pioneering programs, such as Art x Science. Are you young? The JKU is, too! Established in 1966, the JKU is among Austria’s newer universities. As a young university, the JKU can forge new, innovative paths. Many important research areas, such as mechatronics, computer sciences, and marketing, had their beginnings at the JKU in Austria – and even Europe. The JKU’s current development plan outlines the university’s research priorities and includes Digital Transformation and Sustainable Development, Responsible Technologies, and Management. The JKU Science Park offers state-of-the-art educational and research facilities and the Linz Institute of Technology (LIT) was created as a competence center to support technological advancements. The JKU Faculty of Medicine is the first university in Austria to offer undergraduate/ graduate studies in medicine and a unique, virtual space to learn  about anatomy,  the JKU MedSPACE. Another advantage to studying in Linz is that Upper Austria has one of the country’s strongest economies. As a center for business and industry, billions are generated annually in direct exports. These are ideal, exclusive conditions that allow students to actively take part in future-oriented research projects conducted together with local companies and industry. Students not only apply what they have learned in the classroom to address real-world situations, they make important, lifelong contacts.
