Historically, the Catholic-Theological University of Linz (KTU) is the oldest of the local universities: Theological studies have been pursued here since 1672. With the establishment of the Institute for Art Studies and Philosophy in the academic year 2005/06 the range of studies to be chosen from by some 500 students has been expanded to include a proper curriculum of Art Studies and Philosophy as well. More than 30 scholars teach at the KTU. Special features of the KTU include an emphasis on Economy - Ethics - Society, the afore mentioned Institute for Art Studies and Philosophy (an unique institution to be found only here), and the joint Institute for Charity Studies, all of which contribute to the extension and deepening of the theological curriculum. A place of academic research, learning, and teaching in the fields of theology, philosophy and art, the KTU is a lively centre of the humanities in Upper Austria with many public lectures, symposia, and exhibitions.
