Postgraduate students in Vienna have the opportunity to live and study in one of the most famous cultural centres in Europe.

For one thing, you’ll find that the city is also renowned for its cuisine, including regional specialities such as schnitzels and strudels. Cosy Viennese coffee houses are the perfect place to soak up the local culture (and perhaps catch up with your reading).
