For students
Music education in Linz has a tradition going back more than 200 years. The Anton Bruckner Private University was originally founded in 1823 as a singing school. In 1932, it was designated a conservatory. In 2004, the Bruckner Conservatory was transformed into a private university supported by the federal state of Upper Austria. In October 2015, the Anton Bruckner Private University began study operations in the university building newly constructed by the federal state of Upper Austria at the foot of the Pöstlingberg in Linz-Urfahr.
Martin Rummel has been rector of Anton Bruckner Private University since October 2021.
