Your trusted companion for navigating the journey of studying in Austria as an Indian student.
Study Austria Guide was founded by Umang Mishra, an MSc Computer Science student at the University of Vienna, who experienced firsthand the challenges and uncertainties of navigating the Austrian student visa process from India. Like many aspiring students, Umang faced countless questions: Which documents are really needed? How long does the process take? Where should I look for accommodation? What are the actual costs of living?
After successfully completing his own journey in 2023 and helping dozens of fellow students along the way through WhatsApp groups and personal consultations, Umang realized there was a critical need for a centralized, reliable, and up-to-date resource specifically tailored for Indian students. The existing information was scattered across forums, outdated blog posts, and word-of-mouth advice—much of it contradictory or no longer relevant.
In early 2024, Study Austria Guide was born. What started as a simple Google Doc shared among friends quickly evolved into a comprehensive platform. Today, we serve over 1,000 Indian students through our active WhatsApp communities, providing step-by-step guidance, answering real-time questions, and fostering connections that last beyond the application process.
