The Johannes Kepler University Linz.
We are a university for those who WANT TO LEARN MORE!
In a world that is becoming more about (transient) trends and just acquiring "likes", one thing remains constant: KNOWLEDGE! At the JKU, you get more than just an academic title: We are a university for those who WANT TO LEARN MORE.
Play a board game opposite an AI opponent, attend a performance at the Circus of Knowledge, chill out at the Somnium observation platform, or relax at the floating Teichwerk venue located on the university pond. Go a round with classmates at the beach volleyball court, workout at the new gym located in the Kepler Hall, and then head over to the university Mensa party.
Your life on campus as a JKU student will be anything but ordinary!
