Work rules in Austria
EU/EEA status and residence conditions affect access to employment. Third-country students may require an employer-led work permit and must keep study progress as the primary purpose of residence.
Use institutional career support
Ask universities about internships, career services, employer partnerships and graduate outcomes for your field.
Plan beyond graduation
Graduate residence and employment routes are separate from admission. Start checking them well before student status ends.
