Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace, is one of Europe's most beautiful cities, with baroque architecture, an Alpine setting and a world-famous music festival. Its UNESCO-listed old town and calm pace make it ideal for focusing on language study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Salzburg. Preparatory courses and summer schools at Salzburg's university, as well as language schools in Vienna, are also worth considering.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. German levels go from A1 to C2, and on an intensive course you should allow about two months per level.
Language school fees in Salzburg depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and off-season dates. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a booking confirmation and, if needed, a letter of acceptance for your visa. Junior programs require parental consent.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and prices are usually lower.
Turkish citizens apply for a Schengen visa for courses of up to 90 days. For language courses longer than 90 days and up to 6 months, Austria's national type D visa is used. You will need the school's letter of acceptance, proof of payment, proof of accommodation, health insurance and proof of funds.
Language course students in Austria cannot work, while university students with a student residence permit may work within certain hour limits. Planning language study as the first step towards university is an advantage in this respect.
Homestays and student residences are the most common options in Salzburg, and demand rises sharply during the festival season (July and August).
Living costs in Salzburg are close to Vienna's, with higher prices in the touristy old town.
Buses and trolleybuses serve Salzburg, and the old town is easy to explore on foot. Trains connect easily to Vienna and Munich.
Salzburg has cold, snowy winters and mild, sometimes rainy summers, with the Alps nearby for winter sports.
Salzburg Airport (SZG) may have seasonal direct flights from Turkey; you can also fly to Munich and take the train for about 2 hours, or travel from Vienna by train in about 2.5 hours.
Salzburg is 2 hours behind Turkey in winter and 1 hour behind during daylight saving time (late March to late October).
