Learn More about IMC

Location

Krems is a small town in Austria with around 23,000 people. It is about 40 miles from Vienna and is a very historic city.

The short-term summer program provides students the opportunity to engage the faculty's expertise of IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems and WU Vienna. Because of this, time is spent on the campus in Krems and Vienna. It is very easy to commute between the two cities (about 40 miles apart).

Academics

IMC Krems offers courses in Business, Digitalization and Engineering, Health, and Life Sciences. Details on course options available can be found on Krems' Course Overview page.

About one month prior to the semester start, students will be able to get information on the course registration.
