Life in Upper Austria

Rich in mountains, lakes and forests, Upper Austria offers valuable space for fresh ideas and young minds alongside its diverse and unique landscapes and culture. As a centrally located state, it is easy to get to know and enjoy Austria in its entirety thanks to the Westbahn train line and the a well-developed public transport network.

Upper Austria has worked hard to earn its reputation as a "culture country", and with its state music schools it is regarded throughout Europe as a model state for music education. The Upper Austrian government supports artistic education in particular, which is why the Anton Bruckner Private University tuition is extremely moderate in comparison to other equivalent institutions.

Studying in Linz

As the third largest city in Austria, Linz developed from a Roman province to an industrial city and finally to the European Capital of Culture 2009 after a long and eventful history. With its latest endeavour to act as a hotspot for artistic innovation in Upper Austria, Linz is actively positioning itself as a cultural city, with numerous museums, galleries and international festivals in various fields of music, dance, drama, film, media art and much more.
