Its international network is also continuing to grow: the number of partner universities has been expanded to more than 200 institutions worldwide.
Future-oriented degree programmes
IMC Krems offers a broad portfolio aligned with current social and economic requirements. A total of 29 degree programmes are offered, more than half of them taught in English.

The portfolio includes, among others, innovative and newly designed programmes in the fields of business, health and science & technology. Practice-oriented education at higher education level is delivered by around 370 staff members and 800 part-time lecturers – experts from academia and professional practice who place great emphasis on practical relevance, personal support, and international perspectives.
Regionally anchored, internationally connected
“Our university stands for quality, internationality and innovative strength,” emphasises Ulrike Prommer, CEO of IMC Krems. “We are very pleased about the positive development and the sustained interest from students from all over the world. Our strength lies in combining a strong regional foundation with a pronounced international profile.
