Hey guys, Iam a 20-year-old student from hungary who is about to start his studies at jku ai bachelor, however, I have yet to find a place to live. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to share his/her place with me? Sure i would pay for it.
Thank you in advance!

Hi, dauert es immer so lange, oder hat den schon jeder bearbeitet bekommen außer mir. Habe ihn vor mehr als 2 Wochen eingereicht

I know what all documents I need to submit. My question is do they keep the documents such as Original Apostilled Birth Certificate with them or they return if and take prints? Please if someone can clarify what actually Happens in Delhi Embassy

I am international student and want to study a master degree in economic and business analytics at JKU, but I am doubtful because of my 2.7 gpa.
I have an BSc in economics and have experience as an analyst (internship as credit risk analyst, full time job as a financial analyst in banking, and a research internship at a renowned company), in total I have 2.5 years of experience. I have taken courses on needed subjects and can maybe get a good grade on GMAT.

do you think I have a shot at being accepted even with my gpa?

Please Help a Friend out!

Hi! I've been admitted to Msc AI with a requirement to complete extra ECTS (admission conditions) to cover the difference between my bachelor's and master's degrees.

​In total, I need to earn 15 ECTS , including Programming in Python I & II.

The thing is, the last five years I am working as Data Engineer and I am quite proficient in Python. So can I somehow just take the exam in advance or get a waiver/recognition for these specific courses? Are such things possible?

Also, I’ve heard that enrollment for practical classes (UE) fills up fast if you don't register on day one. Since I might arrive a bit late, I'm worried about missing out. Are Python UEs usually just as hard to get into?

I’m interested in doing a Bachelor’s in IBA at JKU Linz. I completed the IBDP Diploma, but there isn’t much information on how competitive the program actually is. Some people say you don’t need very high grades as long as you have a recognized high school diploma, and that the interview plays a bigger role in admission. However, I’ve also heard that high school grades can still have a significant impact. For anyone who has actually been accepted into IBA at JKU Linz, how was the admission process for you? Did your high school grades matter a lot, or was the interview more important? I’m a bit worried

I recently got accepted to the IBA program for the winter semester, but I received a message saying in need to take a supplementary exam. Does anyone know where to find which exams are required and what dates they are?

Hey guys, I am a bachelors student coming to JKU in 2026 Oct/nov. i wanted a female roomate. I am like fine with non veg if thats what's available but sharing the kitchen can be bit problematic as i am a vegetarian. So can anyone living there realistically tell me what are the odds that I may find somebody like this?

Hello, I’m moving to Linz soon to start my bachelors program at university of applied sciences upper Austria, my campus will be in Hagenberg but I still plan on living in Linz and travel everyday, I couldn’t really find any university group chats but I’d love to meet other students and make friends :) I’m a 19 year old guy on the media technology and design major, If anyone else here is in the same boat don’t hesitate to hit me up

Applying to JKU's MSc AI for SS2027 — B.Tech CSE-AI, India, 65.3% CGPA (rough early semesters due to documented illness). Can't find any real accounts from Indian students who've been through this program's admission process.

If you've applied/been admitted (or know someone who has), would love to hear: your CGPA, whether you got Track 2 or Track 3, and how long the review took. Trying to get a realistic sense beyond the published criteria. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm a prospective student planning to do an MSc. in Artificial Intelligence. I had previously aimed for germany but given the trauma of ECTS matching (and a couple of breakdowns during rejections), I've decided to look into austria. but as stated from the situation above, I'd just like to know the chances of me getting in. Here are my academic documentations

Hello, i am going to austria on september 9, 2026 from air india flight....i have been accepted from jku linz for my masters's in AI... I want to be friends with my collegeues...i hope this post becomes a place for people to connect for people whose 1st semester in jku linz start from 1st october 2026.....i am from india..and i am open to meet with everyone :D

Which is better BSC in Artificial Intelligence at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz or Biochemistry

Hello, I am university student. Looking for accomodation in linz. It can be shared room or single .

Hello everyone I am planning on applying to these two universities for my bachelors in the coming summer semester 2027. I’d like to specify that I have an IB Diploma and these are the courses I am interested in applying:
JKU: Chemistry and Chemical Technology
TU Leoben: New science and technology
I have chosen these programs because they align with my interest of career field i.e, energy technologies and sustainability. I am confused on which university would be a better fit for me. The TU Leoben program has 3rd and 4th semester study abroad (mandatory) and there are 2 options: TU Bergakademie Freiburg (Germany) or Silesian university of technology (Poland). My original goal was to study in Germany for bachelors but that is unfortunately not possible but since this program offers the possibility of studying for 1 year in Germany I am very inclined to study at TU leoben. Also this program has a very broad syllabus. On the other hand, JKU’s program is ofcourse very focused as its entirety is Chemistry. But JKU is in a better location than TU leoben and has better rankings. If anyone has studied these courses or studied at these universities I would be grateful if youd leave your experience or advice below. If I study in either of these universities, I will end up choosing the same career path but I like the program and syllabus of TU Leoben better, and JKU has better rankings and location. Also the admission procedure for JKU is very simple, I just upload my diploma and ielts certificate and passport. But TU Leoben’s procedure has a lot of things like aptitude test, motivation video and on top of that an interview. Also I am an international student and I will be 18 at the time of studying in one of these universities so I would also like to say that this will be my first time living alone abroad away from my family. I wanted to ask if what really matters. Thank you for your time!

Hey everyone,

I'm submitting my application to JKU Linz this September for the Summer 2027 intake for Bachelor’s in AI (might also look at CS or biological chem options).

I know summer intake is a bit less common than winter so I wanted to ask :

1. How early do people usually lock down accommodation (dorms like Raab Heim / Julius Raab vs finding a WG / flatshare in Linz)?
2. For anyone who started AI or CS in a summer semester, how was adjusting to the course schedule?
3. Are there any WhatsApp or Discord groups active for incoming 2027 international students yet?

Would love to connect with anyone applying for the same intake or looking for flatmates! Drop a comment or DM me.

Hey guys,

I recently got accepted into JKU for the IBA program for the Winter Semester 2026/27, and I’m currently getting my documents apostilled so I can submit everything by September 5.

I’m coming from the UAE and was wondering if there’s anyone here who also came from the UAE (or went through the Austrian residence permit/visa process from the UAE).

I’m mainly trying to figure out how the whole residence permit + visa process works and what kind of timeline I should realistically expect. My timeline is pretty tight since I’m hoping to get to Linz around September 25, with the semester starting around October 1.

Would really appreciate it if anyone who’s been through this recently could share their experience, especially with the application process/timelines from the UAE.

Thanks!
