The Private University College of Education of the Diocese of Linz is a centre of education which offers courses for initial teacher training, in-service training, supplementary teacher training and for people employed in associated occupations.

Our philosophy of education is based on a humanistic-Christian world view and is reflected in our training, which aims to produce teachers capable of acting responsibly and working in a team. The aim of teacher training at our college is to combine subject knowledge and life experience with the necessary competencies and wisdom for teaching, all at university level. Dialogue both in learning and teaching, between students and teachers, is a basic characteristic of our teacher training courses.A course of initial teacher training (including attendance and examinations) can be completed within the usual 6-semester period of study.

Thorough training is the basis of a successful and enjoyable career as a teacher. Our college supports life-long learning with a wide variety of courses (in-service training, supplementary teacher training, and courses for people employed in associated occupations).A particular attraction of our college campus is its location, situated as it is on a hill in the green belt overlooking the city (approx. 15 minutes walk).
