Yes, FH Upper Austria provides an increasing number of bachelor’s and master’s programs taught entirely in English, particularly at the Hagenberg and Steyr campuses. You can find a current list of all English-taught degree programs and their specific language requirements by using the degree program search on the official FH OÖ website.

For a complete application, you need to provide your annual or half-yearly transcript from the last two years of your highest education, a letter of motivation, a tabular CV, and (if available) your higher education entrance qualification certificate. You are also welcome to upload any service certificates, final theses, or project work that might strengthen your application.

. However, in most bachelor’s programs, after you submit your online application, you will be invited to an in-person advisory and admission interview on campus. Study places are then allocated based on a ranking that considers your grade transcripts, performance in the personal interview, and any relevant project work you have submitted.

For EU and EEA students, the tuition fee is €363.36 per semester, plus the mandatory Austrian National Union of Students (ÖH) fee. For non-EU third-country nationals, the semester fee is €726.72, plus the ÖH contribution. Under certain conditions, such as having a close relationship with Austria (e.g., recognized refugees, five years of living in Austria), third-country students may apply for a reduction from €726.72 to €363.36.

Each campus city offers different housing options. For example, in Hagenberg, on-campus housing with 553 single and double rooms as well as modern apartments are available

After successfully graduating from an Austrian university, you are eligible to apply for the “Red-White-Red Card for graduates.” This card allows you to stay in Austria for up to 12 months after your graduation to seek a qualified job. Once you receive an employment offer that matches your qualifications, you can apply for the full “Red-White-Red Card plus,” which grants you fixed-term settlement and unlimited access to the Austrian labor market.

No, you do not need a job offer to stay in Austria immediately after graduation. The primary post-study path is to apply for a 12-month residence permit dedicated to seeking employment. During this year, you are allowed to work without restriction to support yourself. If you find a job that fits your qualifications within that time, you can then apply for the full Red-White-Red Card without leaving the country.
