The total tuition fee for the MSc Program is EUR 21,500 (excluding travel expenses and cost of room and board).

Computer equipment, lodging during the modules in Vienna and Bruck/Leitha (if necessary), flight, lodging and other costs for the field studies are at the expense of the participant.

Tax Deduction and Financial Benefits*

In Austria the tuition fee and all other costs incurred (e.g. travel expenses or accommodation) are fully tax deductible for employees as well as for self-employed persons. Depending on your income, you can save up to 50% of the tuition fee.

If your company covers the tuition fee (or a part of it) this may be a win-win situation for both sides. Unlike bonuses, for example, tuition fees are exempt from taxation and the financial advantage amounts up to 50%. And, your employer benefits too because there are no payroll related costs. Moreover, the Austrian state shares the costs with the employer and covers 31% (in case of a public limited company) or 61% (in case of an individual enterprise). As for the employers, not only tuition fees are fully deductible, they are also entitled to a 6% education bonus or a 20% education tax exemption alternatively.
