A unique character

The various sites that make up IMC Krems are as diverse as the town itself – a place where historic and modern architecture combine to wonderful effect. It's easy to see why so many of our students wax lyrical about the unique charms of our university.

Modern facilities and high-quality fixtures and fittings create environments in which we are sure you will feel comfortable – something which is very important to us. After all, you’re going to be spending a lot of time with us. At an important stage in your life. So, it goes without saying that we want to make your time here as pleasant as possible.

IMC Campus Krems

Welcome to IMC Campus Krems

As far as the eye can see: modern architecture and beautiful countryside.

Campus Krems is actually located in Stein. The town’s real name is Krems and Stein – two towns which have gradually merged into one. Our facilities on Campus Krems are 10 minutes’ walk from the centres of Krems and Stein, and spread across five buildings: Wing G, Wing G1, Wing D, Wing U and parts of Campus West.

At IMC Campus Krems you are almost entirely surrounded by green countryside. Set against Krems’ hillside vineyards, the grounds, with their neat lawns and inviting benches, are a perfect place to relax between lectures. The ambience of the lecture theatres and seminar rooms is equally appealing, and the ample use of glass affords some eye-catching views. From some floors you can see the Danube, Göttweig Abbey and into the Wachau valley.

Wing G1 is right next to Wing G, and a glazed bridge connects the first floors of both buildings. 

Lectures and seminars take place on all floors, and the health labs for General Nursing can be found on the basement level. 

The ground floor of Wing G1 is the location of the university’s largest indoor space, the main hall. It is used for graduation ceremonies, international conferences and many other kinds of events.

Wing D

Wing D houses the biotechnology labs.

Wing U, building C, houses our chemistry labs.

Campus West

IMC Lounge

Study, learn and meet: the IMC Lounge

We employ the latest technology to make sure that studying at IMC Krems is as enjoyable and convenient as possible. We are also very aware of the importance of working and learning together. And to facilitate this, we created the highly versatile IMC Lounge in Wing G.

You can use this 250-square-metre space to work on your own or as part of a small group, or as a venue for larger gatherings. The IMC Lounge has connections to plug in your devices, along with monitors and WiFi. There’s also comfortable seating and sofas for when you want to take a break and relax.


Great neighbourhood

1 campus, 3 universities  

IMC Krems, University of Continuing Education, Karl Landsteiner Privatuniversität

We’re lucky to have great neighbours. University of Continuing Education Krems and Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences are also based at Campus Krems. The Campus Library is conveniently located for everyone in the centre of campus. It has a catalogue of over 50,000 items as well as offering an inter-library lending service.

The Kolpinghaus student residence is also ideally situated, right next to the campus. It has single and double rooms which can be rented for a whole academic year, or for shorter stays. An inside tip: the breakfast buffet at Kolpinghaus is very reasonably priced and open to all – it’s a great way to start the day, especially if you’re on a tight budget.

Parking at Campus Krems

IMC Campus Krems is located in a green restricted parking zone (grüne Zone), meaning parking charges apply. If you’re coming by car, the best place to park is the Campus West multi-storey car park (Dr.-Karl-Dorrek-Strasse 23) – from there it’s only a 5-minute walk through the campus grounds to our main building.

IMC Piaristengasse

Location IMC Piaristengasse

Where baroque angels meet high-speed WiFi

In Krems, we also have two locations in the historic city centre. The site on Piaristengasse was the main university building when IMC Krems opened. It is where we welcomed our first intake of 45 students back in 1994.

Lectures are held in rooms that were occupied by a Jesuit gymnasium school as early as 1616. Today, the former refectory – one of 13 lecture halls on-site – combines historical ambiance with state-of-the-art equipment.

The spacious courtyard is buzzing with life in the summer months. Come here to take a break or prepare for your next presentation. Take a seat at one of the tables and make yourself comfortable!

State-of-the-art facilities & spacious learning areas

IMC Lounges, electronic whiteboards and digital lecture timetables: don’t let the historic surroundings fool you. The whole building is equipped with the latest technology, not just the seminar and lecture rooms, but the two IMC Lounges as well.

It’s precisely this combination of history and modern technology that gives IMC Piaristengasse its very distinctive character. A tour of the site never fails to impress visitors. Piaristengasse is totally unique – and it’s part of IMC Krems.

The Mistelbach site

Our Mistelbach location has very close ties with Landesklinikum Mistelbach hospital – not least because it is physically connected to it. Students in Mistelbach can experience nursing first hand.

Interdisciplinary exchange with the hospital’s various departments offers students direct insights into working life at the institution from their very first semester on the programme. This opens lots of doors, because students can build up a personal network of contacts while also gaining in-depth practical experience.

Our students are welcome to use the shopping and gastronomy facilities at the Landesklinikum.

The Horn site

Our location in Horn is situated at the Schule für Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege (School of Nursing) and is in close proximity to the Landesklinikum Horn.
