UNIVIE campus
The city campus of UNIVIE provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Vienna has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. UNIVIE accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
To stay in Austria after graduation, you need to apply for a job seeker visa. It allows you to live and work in the country for another 2 years. Graduates of UNIVIE find jobs without difficulty. One of the reasons is the good reputation of the university among employers, according to the results of the QS ranking. Look for more immigration options in our article.
