International exchange: Welcome, discover and welcome back!

Welcome - Welcome!

36 exchange students from 17 countries

In the current winter semester 25/26, we welcome 36 exchange students from a total of 17 countries, including Bulgaria, Germany, Estonia, France, Italy, Japan, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Slovakia, Spain, Taiwan, Czechia, Turkey, and Cyprus.

We are particularly pleased that two of the incoming students have extended their stay and will remain with us for another semester. Two other students are only with us for a short period: A student from Slovakia is spending her exchange semester here as part of a three-month scholarship from “Aktion Österreich–Slowakei,” while a student from Japan is spending two months at Interface Cultures as part of a long-standing cooperation.

We are delighted about the cultural diversity and international exchange that our guests bring with them, and wish everyone a good start and an inspiring and enriching time!

Discover - Explore!
A new chapter begins for 26 of our students: whether at partner universities, in internships or researching for their theses - we wish you an interesting and instructive time full of new impressions and perspectives.

We would also like to encourage the 41 students who are already preparing for their stay abroad in the summer semester 2026: Good luck with your preparations! We look forward to hearing about your experiences when you return.

Welcome back - Welcome back!
After an exciting summer semester abroad, 41 students have returned to the University of Arts Linz - welcome back! We also welcome back our 23 scholarship holders.

Together we are creating a vibrant and diverse international community at our university.
