JKU campus
The suburban campus of JKU combines features of an urban and rural campus. It is located outside the big city, which allows you to focus on your studies. However, it is also not too far, opening up access to more types of recreation, both outdoors and in the city (theaters, museums, restaurants). During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers. Foreigners who come to JKU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
If you want to stay in Austria after graduation, you can apply for a job seeker visa that will allow you to live and work in the country for another 2 years. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
