Are you a third-country national planning to work or settle in Austria?

If you are from a country that is not an EEA or EU member state, there are some extra steps you need to follow before you can start working in Austria. To help you navigate the legal requirements and give you a head start in your career, Uniport offers free career counseling sessions for University of Vienna students and recent graduates. The session is 50 minutes long and can be either in German or English.
