Together with the Austrian Research and Support Center for the Gifted and Talented (ÖZBF), the departments of Computer Science of the Johannes Kepler University Linz give students in the 7th class at AHS schools a unique opportunity to attend selected computer science courses at the JKU.
Benefit from a compact introduction to computer science methods, see if studies in computer science are for you, and earn university academic credit BEFORE graduation! This can give you a smooth transition to university studies and you could earn your degree even faster.
You can get academic credit for completed courses. The classes are independent from each other, but you should take all three if possible.
