Considered to be the third oldest university in Austria, the University of Innsbruck was founded in
1669, with roots dating back even earlier, to 1562 when a Jesuit college was established.

Today, the university comprises 16 faculties (its most recent, the Faculty of Teacher Education,
opened in 2012), six interdisciplinary research areas, four interdisciplinary research platforms, and
more than 40 research centers to facilitate networking and collaboration between different
disciplines. Physics, Mountain Regions, Cultural Encounters – Cultural Conflicts,
Scientific Computing and Molecular Biosciences are cited as being among its research priorities

Approximately 28,000 students are enrolled. The University’s main mandate is to focus on research
and development, teaching and continuing professional education and training. In all these fields its
regional status is to be deepened and its high ranking in the European academic area is to be
guaranteed. Courses are taught primarily in German, with a growing number of courses in English

The university is located in the Alps, bridging German and Romance speaking regions. In order to
promote international exchange in research and teaching, the university collaborates with numerous
international research and education institutions.
