JKU campus
The educational institution has a suburban campus. This means that students study close to a big city and can quickly get to it by public transport. At the same time, this location allows you to create a close-knit student community, since all events are held on campus. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. 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.
After graduation, you can stay in Austria for 2 years. To do this, you must obtain a job seeker visa, which allows you to live and work in the country. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
