Is tuition really that low in Austria?
At public universities, yes. Non-EU students pay a semester contribution that works out to roughly EUR 1,500 per year, substantially below comparable countries. Universities of Applied Sciences charge more but remain competitive.
Do I need German for Austria?
Not for English-taught programmes, which are common at masters level. Bachelors programmes are more often taught in German, and German improves both part-time work options and post-study employment considerably.

Austria requires documented monthly funds, with the amount depending on your age and set annually. Funds must generally be available in a blocked or accessible Austrian account.
