International Foundation Programmes

If you don't have the necessary (language) skills yet, or miss sufficient credits in mathematics/phiysics/English for selected sudy degree programmes, FH Upper Austria is happy to offer you an International Foundation Programme. Students will be enrolled as external students during the time of programme. This allows for obtaining visa and student residence permit.

Visa

It is your responsibility as a student to take care of visa arrangements. As soon as you receive your Letter of Acceptance, please get an appointment at the Austrian embassy in Hanoi. If you intend to stay for only one semester, it is sufficient to apply for a Visa D (for stays up to 6 month). Degree-seeking students apply for a Residence Permit (for stays of more than 6 months) right from the beginning. Please keep in mind that embassies usually require you to bring additional documents such as proof of health insurance, proof of accommodation and a financial statement.

In case you must go for an entrance examination, you need to apply for a Visa C (travelling visa under 90 days) with the invitation letter from the admission office.

What our students from Vietnam say...

Student Ambassador

Nationality: VIETNAMESE

My name is Quang, a graduated Master student at University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria in Steyr, majored in Global Sales & Marketing. Not in my wildest dream did I think that one day I'd be living and studying in the heart of Europe.The Global Sales & Marketing Programme not provides me insightful knowledge but also hands-on experience about effective sales and marketing strategies particularly for industrial and advanced technology sectors. Moreover, what I treasured most from the program is the international opportunities for which students are highly encouraged to do their semester exchange overseas. Here students can easily gain access to a wide network of University partners all over the world. Personally, I did my semester exchange in Wisconsin, United States and it was an unbelievable time.Within few years of work and studying in such highly international environment, I am more than willing to share some experience and facilitate you for your upcoming adventures.
