Innsbruck University Information
The university of Innsbruck, located in the Tirol region of Austria, was established in the mid 16th century from money earned from the local salt mines. Today it is governed by the rector Karlheinz Töchterle and caters for a student population of around 20,000 people.
Following a reorganization of the university in 2004 (in which the medical school broke away and became a university in its own right), the university of Innsbruck now has fifteen distinct faculties; these cover study in the following core subject areas:
Architecture; Biology; Bio ethics; Catholic Theology; Chemistry and Pharmacology; Civil engineering; Economics and Statistics; Educational Science; Geography and Atmospheric Sciences; Mathematics, Infomatics and Physics; Marketing; Politics and Sociology; Philosophy and Culture Science; and Psychology and Sports science;
Over its long life the university of Innsbruck has built up an enviable list of alumni including two noble prize winners Viktor Franz Hess (physics) and Hans Fischer (chemistry). Other famous faculty include Rudolf Grimm, Heinz Fischer, Karl Rahner and Claudia Werlhof.
