Study and living expenses in Austria

The currency used in Austria is the euro (€).

The tuition fee in Austria depends on several variables. One is where you are in the world, the other is to choose a public or private university. Public universities charge much less than private universities. You will also pay more to study at the University of Applied Sciences.

 

If you are from an EU country, you do not have to pay a fee for completing the course within the prescribed period or for the additional two semesters allowed. If you do not complete your course within this time, you will have to pay a small tuition fee for each semester you enroll. This is usually around € 363,36 per semester.

 

If you are from another state, you will be required to pay tuition for one semester. This is typically around € 726,72 at a public institution. Both international and EU / EEA students have to pay a membership fee to the student union, which is usually around € 18 per semester.

 

Another cost that international students need to know is health insurance. If you are from an EU / EEA country and have an EHIC card, you can use medical services like Austrian citizens without getting health insurance. If you are from another country, you will not need health insurance. But you need to get the A3 form from your national health insurance provider, then you can change it to the Austrian health form. If you are from another country, you will need to purchase health insurance to stay in Austria or ensure that your current policy applies during your studies.
