University housingDorm available
€339–370/mo· City-wide range · Linz
Private market

The cheapest of Austria's six main student cities: a single room in Linz (€339) costs less than a bed in a shared room in Vienna. Studios run €422–680. A single here also stays under the €386.43 housing threshold in the Austrian visa formula, so it does not raise the amount you must show on your account. AY 2026/27 rates.

Why this works

  • 15 degree programmes in the federal catalogue studienwahl.at, all of them taught in German · crawled 08.2026
  • Statutory third-country tuition €726,72/semester (€1.453,44/year) under § 69 Abs. 2 HG 2005 plus the ÖH student-union fee €26,20/semester — €1.506,64 for the year; an unpaid ÖH fee cancels the enrolment · 2026-27
  • Teaching is entirely in German: German C1 (CEFR) is required for admission — an Austrian school-leaving certificate counts as proof, a foreign one has to be backed by a C1 certificate
  • No English-taught programmes — the route runs through a German preparatory year (VWU) or an equivalent C1 certificate
  • Campus in Linz; the residence permit requires proof of means at the NAG Richtsatz — €722,58/month under 24, €1.308,39/month from 24 · 2026-27
  • Non-EU students may work up to 20 hours a week with an employment permit; after graduation Austria grants a 12-month job-search residence permit leading to the Rot-Weiß-Rot – Karte
