VFS Education Services has signed an agreement with three public Technical Universities (TU) of Austria that will allow Indian engineering and technology graduates* from recognised colleges under the ANABIN list to pursue higher education in these institutes.
This landmark public-private partnership aims to support Indo-Austrian mobility for skilled engineering and technology students. It is specifically designed for students from recognised colleges across India, providing them with access to quality higher education in TU Leoben, TU Wien, and TU Graz.
The programme comprises a two-year Master’s degree, entailing theory as well as industry work experience as part of the course component. The Universities will also support on-campus placements and career open day engagements with industry experts. As part of the academic programme, the students will be eligible for a one-year post study visa extension upon graduation, supporting their transition into the international workforce.
To efficiently manage and streamline the workflow for handling applications from Indian students to the three leading Austrian engineering universities, VFS Education Services has also launched a digital admissions portal. This flexible and user-friendly tool, designed for mobile and tablet responsiveness, integrates effortlessly with existing systems, streamlining processes and enabling real-time data capture at scale.
Pursuing a master’s degree at a Technical University in Austria offers a truly enriching academic and cultural experience. Known for its historic contributions to art, music, science, and engineering, Austria provides students with a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Cities like Vienna, Graz, and Leoben not only host globally respected technical institutions such as TU Wien, TU Graz, and TU Leoben, but also serve as vibrant cultural hubs.
Zubin Karkaria, Founder and CEO, VFS Global Group, said, “We are delighted to be working with the Austrian Universities of Technology to open up higher education opportunities for Indian students. By supporting this cross-border public private initiative, VFS Education Service is playing a critical role in promoting global mobility and strengthening bilateral ties. 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.”
Students interested in enrolling for the March and October 2026 batches can send their B-Tech degree certificates with marksheets to austria@vfsedu.com. Shortlisted candidates will be notified about the next steps. Please note that students are shortlisted as per their choice of engineering degree and number of seats available. This selection would be based on overall grades, English proficiency, one-to-one assessments and document verifications.
