Austria Seeks Indian Students to Bridge Labour Gaps in STEM Fields

Austria is actively recruiting Indian students to satisfy an urgent need for skilled professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This initiative, spearheaded by TU Austria, seeks to attract a student intake of more than 300 Indian students during its first year. TU Austria comprises TU Wien, TU Graz, and TU Leoben.

Key Highlights

Educational Opportunities: The course consists of a two-year Master’s degree of study combined with industry exposure and placements. The disciplines of study include metallurgy, biotechnology, circular engineering, computer science, AI and robotics, sustainable technologies, petroleum engineering, and green chemistry. Financial Aid: The tuition fees are minimal, with the state providing high-quality education. Scholarships and other financial support are available to students from abroad. Post-Study Work Opportunities: A one-year extension of the post-study visa will be granted to graduates, thereby enabling them to garner valuable international work experience in Austria’s flourishing STEM fields. Simplified Admission: The initiative has been put into effect in conjunction with VFS Education Services, which undertakes the end-to-end evaluation of Indian students eligible to apply holding BE/BTech/BSc (Hons.) degrees from ANABIN-recognized institutions.

Concluding Remarks

This programme not only fulfills production demand in Austria, but also opens the path for Indian students to Europe for further study and career opportunities. The combination of good education, financial backup, and career prospects in Austria makes it too attractive to be missed by an aspiring STEM professional.
