Vienna, Austria's capital, ranks near the top of the world's most liveable cities every year. With its imperial palaces, coffee houses, opera and classical music tradition, it is a unique place to learn German at the heart of European culture.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Vienna:
Preparatory courses at Vienna's universities and private language schools are also among the options; ask NGGlobal for current schools and prices.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: university-based courses and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a Schengen visa for up to 90 days and a national type D visa for up to 6 months. Students admitted to an Austrian university can apply for a student residence permit. NGGlobal helps you prepare complete documents.
Schengen and type D visas issued for language courses do not allow you to work in Austria. You should therefore plan a budget that covers your course and living costs from the start.
Student residences and shared flats (WG) are common in Vienna; demand rises at the start of semesters, so arrange accommodation early.
Living costs in Vienna are moderate for a European capital, with rent more reasonable than in Munich or Paris. Student discounts give big savings on museums, opera and concerts.
Vienna has an excellent public transport network of U-Bahn, trams and buses. Discounted semester tickets and an affordable annual pass are available for students.
Vienna has a temperate climate with continental influences: winters are cold and sometimes snowy, summers warm and sunny.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Vienna Airport (VIE) take about 2.5 hours, and there are also direct flights from Ankara, Izmir and Antalya. Trains reach the city centre in about 20 minutes.
When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 11:00 in Vienna in summer and 10:00 in winter.
