Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences

Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences is a private university in Krems an der Donau, in Lower Austria. That is the basic shape of it: a private institution, not a public one, based in a town on the Danube rather than in Vienna.

The university appears in the Austrian national register of higher education institutions under the category Privatuniversität, which confirms its private status. The register lists three English-taught degree programmes for it: one Bachelor's degree and two PhD or doctorate programmes. The subjects taught are Biomedical Science and Biology. That is a narrow subject spread, so if you are looking for a broad menu of fields, this is not that kind of place. The register entry also points to an OeAD directory page for the institution.

As a private university, it runs its own admissions. You apply directly to the institution, which sets its own application period and its own entrance procedure, so check the website for the dates and requirements that apply to the programme you want. Students from outside the EU/EEA need a Residence Permit, Student. The tuition rules for public universities, where EU/EEA and Swiss students pay no tuition within the standard duration plus two semesters and most others pay a per-semester fee, are the public university rules; at a private university, fees are set by the institution itself, so ask what the programme costs. Every student pays the student union fee.

Before applying, confirm the language of instruction and the level of each programme directly with the university, since the register and the institution's own listing do not always match.
