Official post-graduation regulations are verified by the Austrian Federal Migration Platform and the Austrian Public Employment Service (AMS):
20 Hours/Week Student Work Rights
International students who study in Austria on a Student Residence Permit (Aufenthaltsbewilligung – Student) are legally permitted to work 20 hours per week during term time and 40 hours/week during semester holidays. Average student wages range between €13.00 and €18.00 per hour, generating €1,000 – €1,400 monthly to easily fund living expenses.
12-Month Post-Study Jobseeker Extension
Upon graduation from an Austrian public university with an accredited Bachelor's or Master's degree, students who study in Austria are entitled to a 12-month post-study visa extension (Aufenthaltsbewilligung – StudienabsolventInnen) to secure qualified employment or register a business across Austria.

Frequently Asked Questions: Study in Austria
Clear, transparent answers about how to study in Austria at English public universities, mandatory IELTS scores, statutory fees, and SAJO’s verified 100% Visa Approval Guarantee, aligned with official guidelines from the OeAD Entry and Residence Portal:
No German proficiency is required. When you choose to study in Austria through SAJO, all public university degree tracks shortlisted (including University of Vienna, WU Vienna, TU Wien, TU Graz, and JKU Linz) are taught 100% in English. Lectures, course literature, laboratory work, exams, and thesis defense are conducted entirely in English. The Austrian Embassy does not require any German certificate for your student visa when admitted to an English-taught degree.
Yes, IELTS Academic is strictly mandatory. To study in Austria at top public universities, candidates must submit an official IELTS Academic score of Band 6.0 – 6.5 minimum (Band 7.0 for elite programs such as WU Vienna or Univie Data Science). A formal IELTS score is essential because Austrian immigration authorities (MA 35) and consular officers require official standardized test verification, which waives language interview scrutiny and secures your 100% visa approval guarantee. Medium of Instruction (MOI) letters alone are not accepted.
SAJO maintains a zero-refusal track record for Austrian National Visa D and Student Residence Permits (Aufenthaltsbewilligung – Student). To guarantee success for students who study in Austria, our senior legal immigration specialists conduct a meticulous pre-audit: ensuring MEA Hague Apostille and court-sworn certified German translations, structuring verified bank maintenance funds compliant with MA 35 requirements (~€7,000 for under 24; ~€14,000 for 24+), securing confirmed OeAD housing contracts, and conducting rigorous consular interview simulations.
By Austrian Federal Law (Universitätsgesetz UG 2002), non-EU international students who study in Austria pay a heavily subsidized statutory rate of €726.72 per semester plus a mandatory €24.70 Austrian Student Union (ÖH) fee, totaling approximately €751.42 per semester (~₹67,000 per semester or ~€1,500 per year). This makes Austria one of the most cost-effective world-class destinations in all of Europe.
Yes, up to 20 hours per week. International students who study in Austria holding a valid Student Residence Permit are legally entitled to work 20 hours weekly during the semester, and full-time (40 hours/week) during winter and summer university holidays. With standard student hourly wages ranging between €13 and €18/hour, students earn approximately €1,000 to €1,400 monthly, comfortably covering living and accommodation costs.
After you study in Austria and graduate with an Austrian degree, you receive a 12-month post-study job search visa. Once you secure employment meeting the statutory graduate wage threshold, you transition into the prestigious Red-White-Red Card (Rot-Weiß-Rot – Karte). Crucially, Austrian university graduates are exempt from the labor market test (kein Ersatzkraftverfahren). After 2 years, you qualify for the Red-White-Red Card Plus, and after 5 years, you receive Permanent Residence EU (Daueraufenthalt – EU).
Yes! Austria is positioned right in the geographic heart of the Schengen zone. When you study in Austria with an Austrian Student Residence Permit, you can travel freely across all 29 Schengen countries (including Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Netherlands, and Sweden) for up to 90 days in any 180-day window without applying for separate tourist visas.
