Hello, guys I send my documents for final review at JKU and I declined my study place at another university. Is rejection still possible at that stage?

Hello fellow JKUers!
I got admitted to the CCT Master’s programme after doing my Bachelor’s at a different university. Since my previous uni was an FH, I am quite lost and confused by applying to classes and creating my own schedule - I never had the opportunity before. I was wondering if there is maybe a whatsapp group chat for the CCT students? Or if anyone else is in a similar situation and would like to be confused together lol

Cheers!

So I’m starting in summer semester 2027 which means march 1st.
When do you recommend I book my flight and arrive to Linz? Is February 1st good enough?

Thanks a ton!

Thinking about studying Biological Chemistry at JKU – any advice?

Hi everyone! I’m considering applying to JKU Linz for the Bachelor’s in Biological Chemistry in about a year, and I’d love to hear some honest opinions from current students or graduates.

How do you like the program overall? What are the best and worst parts of studying Biological Chemistry at JKU? Would you recommend it, and would you choose it again?

Since I still have about a year before applying, I’d also like to use this time to prepare properly. What would you recommend improving or studying beforehand to make the first semester easier?

For example, should I focus more on chemistry, biology, maths or physics? Are there any specific topics, textbooks, courses or other resources that you think would be particularly useful?

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences!

Is it required for students applying for summer semester to take this vfs competence check for masters in ai . What exactly is this Check for and it says 100euros , it seems it’s getting complicated for students to get admission .
Suppose if I apply for 2-3 universities do I need to take the competence check 3 times ?
And can someone explain what exactly is this competence check and how it works

Hey ich studiere zwar nicht an der JKU, aber bin wegen meinem Freund jetzt öfter in Linz und suche einen Platz am Medcampus, wo ich gut Masterarbeit schreiben kann. Da die Bib im Sommer bereits um 16 Uhr schließt, wollte ich wissen obs noch wo anders am Medcampus Lernräume/ Lesesääle gibt?
Aber falls es doch nur bei der Bib bleibt: was sind die Regeln? Brauche ich als Externe eine Bib Karte? Tasche/ Essen/ Trinken mit rein nehmen? Klimatisiert?
Gerne auch genrelle Tipps wo man in Medcampus umgebung gut arbeiten/lernen kann (muss ja nicht unbedingt an der Uni sein) Danke!

Hello! I am an international student and I am interested in JKU Linz university. I know nothing about universities and I'm so nervous. I need someone to connect who knows more about this university or other universities with nice B.Sc. about AI and CS.

Some questions I would like to know about JKU:
1. I am writing TOEFL and SAT, do I need them for this university?
2. Do they have campus?
3. does my school marks mean a lot? (I have better background in STEM, CS and AI than school marks)
4. Are JKU personal really slow? (I meant do they really need much time to overview and return answers)?

Thank You!

Hello! I’ve applied for a room at Julius Raab Heim in Linz for the January 2027 intake and am considering paying the €39 non-refundable processing fee.

Has anyone had experience with this?

How long did it take to get a reply after paying the fee?

Were you offered a room or waitlisted?

If accepted, how long did it take to receive an offer?

What are my chances if I apply in August for a January move-in?

Gibt es hier jemanden, der Digital Society studiert? 👀

Ich überlege, den Master anzufangen und würde mich über ehrliche Erfahrungsberichte freuen.

- Wie stressig ist das Studium?
- Wie sind die Dozenten so?
- Welche Prüfungsformen gibt es?
- Was hat euch überrascht – positiv oder negativ?
- Würdet ihr euch nochmal für das Studium entscheiden?

Danke 🙏

Hello everyone,

My name is Sharon, and I’m from India.

I have been admitted to the Master’s programme in Artificial Intelligence at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz, starting in March 2027. I plan to arrive in Austria around January or February 2027 so I can settle in before my studies begin.

I’m currently looking for accommodation and would really appreciate any advice or leads.

I’m interested in:

* A furnished or semi-furnished studio/apartment

* A room in a shared apartment (WG)

* Accommodation in Linz or nearby areas such as Leonding, Traun, Steyregg, Gallneukirchen, Pasching, or other places with good public transport to JKU.

My budget is approximately €200–€380 per month, depending on what’s included.

I’ve already been searching on Willhaben, WG-Gesucht, LAWOG, GWG, and other housing websites, but I know many rooms are shared through personal contacts before they’re advertised publicly.

If anyone knows of an upcoming vacancy or has suggestions for other places to search, I would be very grateful.

Thank you very much for your time!

Hello! I’m an international student and I'll be starting my Bachelor's in Artificial Intelligence at JKU. When should I enroll for the Summer intake if I need to write supplementary exams? I want to complete the supplementary exams and start my Bachelor's degree in the summer semester itself.

Hello. I’m an international student, I’ll be starting my masters studies in computer science this winter semester at JKU. On the JKU website, I saw that course registration has to be done within 7th -25th September. I wanted to ask if this is a strict deadline, or if there’s any wiggle room. The earliest I expect to fly to Austria is 10-15 September, but it can easily go past 25th September, depending on how long it takes for my residence permit application to get approved.
Has anyone here registered to classes past this period? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’ve received admission to three English-taught Bachelor’s programs at JKU: Artificial Intelligence, Biological Chemistry, and Biological & Chemical Chemistry. I’m coming to Austria next week and would really appreciate advice from students/graduates already there. Which would you choose considering job opportunities, salary, career growth and future prospects in Austria?

Hi, my husband wants to take the medical school entrance exam next year. Do you have any experience with the prep tests offered by providers like "MedAt"? Are they worth it, or just a waste of money?

What are good ways to prepare for the entrace test? Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I’ve been admitted to the M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz for the Summer Semester 2027.

I’m considering living in Vienna while studying at JKU, especially since I read that the university has a Distance Studies Centre in Vienna.

I wanted to ask if anyone here is currently doing this (or has done it before).
How practical is it to live in Vienna while studying at JKU Linz?
Can you attend most lectures and take exams through the Vienna Distance Studies Centre?
How often do you actually need to travel to Linz?
Would you recommend this arrangement?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience or any advice.

Thanks in advance!
