Top 3 Universities in Austria Nigerian Students Can Apply to

This post is about the top 3 universities in Austria Nigerian students and other prospective international students can apply to. Before I delve into the main post, I’ll like to state here that public universities in Austria offer free tuition to student (local and international students) – though it should be noted that some universities charge small tuition fees for foreign students. Those fees are extremely lower than public colleges and universities in the United States, Canada and UK. Education in Austria is more or less free. Austrian educational system is regarded as one of the bests in the world.

The highly regarded and reputable Austrian universities that admits international students (Nigerians inclusive) are:

1.  The University of Vienna
