When: Fall Quarter
Students attend Johannes Kepler University for 13 weeks and take 18 credits. In mid-September they do an intensive German course to give them basic communication skills and at the beginning of October they begin 12 credits of business, in English, while continuing with their German. A Business College professor accompanies our students and teaches accounting there. Students reside in a dorm and have the possibility of sharing accommodation with an Austrian student. Many students take advantage of Austria's central location to travel on the weekends.
The City
Linz (population 203,000), the provincial capital of Upper Austria, straddles the Danube and is about two hours by train west of Vienna and two hours east of Salzburg. The city dates to Roman settlers who valued its strategic location – a recurrent theme in the history of Linz. It is Austria's third largest city and has a strong manufacturing base (steel and chemicals) and arts history. The city has an outstanding neo-Gothic cathedral and the center of the city features a variety of Baroque and Rococo architecture. Linz briefly played home to Mozart, but is best known among classical music lovers as the home of Anton Bruckner. It provides an ideal location to visit diverse business and cultural sites in Austria.
