New ways of learning at IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria
IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria is one of the first public universities in Europe exclusively dedicated to the digital transformation of science, business and society. Based in Linz, Austria, we offer a new way of learning in a digital world. Our project-based and inclusive approach to technical education equips students from a wide range of disciplines with the digital skills required to tackle global challenges.
We drive an interdisciplinary and international research agenda. Our students come from a variety of fields and many different countries. At IT:U, they learn to use technology to transform the work they do in their disciplines. They become transformation architects answering challenges to society and the environment.
