Republik Österreich
Access Level
You get a full official year after graduation to secure employment in your field. No need to rush back home immediately.
Austria faces a severe shortage of IT, Mechanical, and Business professionals. Indian graduates are highly preferred and respected.

Everything you need to know about the Austrian education system, visas, and living costs. Can't find what you're looking for?

For your visa and university admission into English-taught Master's programs, German is NOT required. However, we highly recommend learning basic A1/A2 German while studying there, as it makes finding part-time jobs and daily life much easier.
Unlike private universities that charge thousands of euros, Austria's elite public universities charge a standardized low fee of just €726.72 per semester for international students from non-EU countries.
Indian students are officially granted a 12-month stay-back period after graduation. During this time, you can legally stay in Austria to find a full-time job related to your field of study, which then converts into a Red-White-Red card.
Yes. International students are legally allowed to work up to 20 hours per week. Given the current labor shortage and high minimum wages, students easily earn around €1,000+ per month, which comfortably covers rent, food, and insurance.
