Master's in EU: Frequently Asked Questions
Comprehensive guide for Indian students aiming for Public Technical Universities in Austria and the EU.
Public Technical Universities in the EU (especially Austria) offer world-class research and zero or very low tuition fees. Expedition Services helps you access these government-subsidized programs which are far more affordable than the US or UK.
Yes. Austria is a primary focus. We assist students in navigating the specific admission requirements for top-tier Austrian technical universities like TU Wien or TU Graz, famous for Engineering and IT.
For Indian students, tuition fees at public universities are approximately €726 per semester. This allows students to focus their budget on living expenses rather than heavy debt.
Graduates from Technical Universities (TU) are highly sought after. In sectors like AI, Robotics, and Data Science, starting salaries often reach €75,000+ within 1-2 years of experience due to the shortage of skilled engineers.
Austria is consistently ranked as one of the safest countries in the world. We provide orientation on local laws and safety to ensure a smooth transition for every student.
While many STEM programs are in English, having A2/B1 level German is highly recommended for daily life and is crucial for securing the highest-paying (€75k+) local jobs.

In Austria and Germany, a Master’s degree typically takes 2 years (4 semesters), which includes your research thesis.
Most technical Master’s require a 4-year degree. We advise on 'Pre-Master’s' or bridge courses to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria.
We provide post-departure briefings, help with local registration (Meldezettel), and health insurance setup so you are never alone in a new country.
