Linz Campus
In the departments of "Health, Social and Public Management", "Medical Technology" and "Social Work", students receive academic training in management, technology or services with a view to the professional fields of health and social work. In addition to teaching, the three departments are dedicated to exciting tasks in applied research with the aim of helping to shape the society of tomorrow. The motto is: the focus is on people.
In addition to numerous lecture halls and seminar rooms with modern equipment, the campus building includes seven laboratories and a light-flooded library with numerous relevant print publications and database access. A comfortable lounge area with WLAN and screens in the spacious auditorium provides a communicative meeting place with a cozy factor.

Linz City
Linz, the third largest city in Austria, is located directly on the Danube. The heart of the Upper Austrian capital beats to a pulsating beat. Business hustle and bustle during the day, cultural highlights and a good atmosphere in numerous trendy bars in the evening.
The idyllic alleyways and stylish main square of Linz stand in stark contrast to the contemporary art and virtual worlds of the Ars Electronica Center. Whether opera, drama or ballet at the Landestheater, orchestral sounds at the Brucknerhaus, fine art at the Lentos or historical treasures at the Nordico or the Landesmuseen - Linz has something in its repertoire for every culture lover.
