New VFS programme opens doors for Indian tech graduates to pursue Masters in Austria

Indian graduates in engineering and technology will now have a new route to pursue higher education in Austria, following a new agreement between VFS Education Services and three public Technical Universities (TU) in Austria.

The partnership aims to ease the pathway for Indian students from recognised colleges to study in Austria under a two-year master’s degree programme. The course will combine academic learning with hands-on industry experience.

"We are delighted to be working with the Austrian Universities of Technology to open up higher education opportunities for Indian students.


This initiative not only provides students with world-class and affordable learning opportunities, but also reflects our overarching mission to create better futures and strengthen international cooperation in education," VFS Global Group founder and CEO Zubin Karkaria said.

The universities will support students through on-campus placements and career events involving industry experts. Upon completion of the degree, students will also be eligible for a one-year post-study visa extension, helping them gain international work experience.
