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.
Top Universities in Austria Nigerian Students Can Apply To
The highly regarded and reputable Austrian universities that admits international students (Nigerians inclusive) are:
1.  The University of Vienna
The institution was listed on the 2008 Time Higher Education Survey’s list of the Top 200 Universities in the World. This university has the largest population of international students comprising of students from different countries. This is an added advantage for a Nigerian student as the student will be exposed to inter cultural exchanges.

I found this links useful,however,I have one little concern. These universities offer their programs in german,so how does a prospective Nigerian student get around that?
Thank you for your comment.
Since German is the official language, most of the undergraduate programs are taught in German while few are taught in English Language. However, most of the postgraduate programs (Masters and PhD) are targeted at international students. Therefore, they are mostly taught in English Language.
If you are planning to go for a postgraduate program, you will surely get an English taught program in these universities. Just take your time to browse through the available programs.
For an undergraduate program, you can also get an English taught program that suits your educational aspiration. But, if you could not get, there is an opportunity to learn German here in Nigeria within the space of 6-12 months at Goethe institute in Lagos or you can go to the department of European studies at University of Ibadan (there is an ongoing German class for anyone that wants to learn the language).
I hope this explanation is useful. Don’t hesitate in asking if you need further clarification.
Thank you.
