Since the mid-60s, the Johannes Kepler University Linz has been located in urban parkland north of the city of Linz. The new Faculty of Medicine was established in 2014, adding the JKU MED Campus in the city center in close proximity to the Kepler University Hospital, thus strengthening Upper Austria's largest institution for research and education.
The JKU campus located in the Linz-Auhof area is practical for many reasons: You don't spend your valuable time traversing the city to get from one class to the next as all of the most important buildings are all together on one campus. Take advantage of our many comfortable spaces to enjoy a relaxed chat, focus on studying, or discuss classes with fellow classmates. The JKU offers green spaces to enjoy nature, and you can take part in "Mensa" parties, play soccer or volleyball on campus, enjoy a cup of coffee, or even a picnic with friends - it can all happen right here!
Sustainability. Not just a catchphrase here at the JKU campus, but part of everyday campus life. Starting with getting to campus, waste disposal, honey from beehives right here on campus to frisbees made from recycled bottle caps... The JKU is a Climate Alliance partner and we practice sustainability on a daily basis here at Upper Austria's largest educational institution.
The best way to get around our car-free campus is by bike or on foot. For a more interesting perspective, learn more about the JKU campus through the eyes of our parkour runner!
