VFS Education partners Austria's tech universities to enable Indian students pursue higher studies

VFS Education Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VFS Global, on Friday said it has signed an agreement with three public Technical Universities (TU) of Austria to enable Indian students to pursue higher education in engineering and technology.

This landmark public-private partnership aims to support Indo-Austrian mobility for skilled engineering and technology students, especially for those from recognised colleges across India, according to a statement.

''We are delighted to be working with the Austrian Universities of Technology to open up higher education opportunities for Indian students. ''This initiative not only provides students with world-class and affordable learning opportunities, but also reflects our overarching mission to create better futures and strengthen international cooperation in education,'' VFS Global Group founder and CEO Zubin Karkaria said.

The programme comprises a two-year Master's degree, entailing theory as well as industry work experience as part of the course component.

The Universities will also support on-campus placements and career open day engagements with industry experts.

As part of the academic programme, the students will be eligible for a one-year post study visa extension upon graduation, supporting their transition into the international workforce.
