Linz, the third largest city in Austria with a population of about 200,000, lies along the River Danube. Selected students complete their first year at Goizueta Business School. The program can accept students who are not fluent in German. In such cases, intensive German language training is required for the summer prior to full enrollment. Once students enroll for full-time study, they complete coursework and a thesis in Linz.
Exchange students have the option of writing the thesis in English or German.
Successful candidates will earn an Austrian Magister degree in addition to an MBA after successful completion of five semesters of study. Goizueta can select two students to attend this program. Students pay standard tuition to Goizueta Business School for the Full-Time MBA Program and are not charged for the second semester in Austria. Johannes-Kepler has often helped students to secure internships. HEC is located on a pristine, 236-acre campus southwest of Paris near Versailles.
