There is a wide selection of student jobs (both full and part-time) available in Vienna. The services of the WU ZBP Career Center are available mainly to WU students and graduates looking for a job. In addition, many daily newspapers and the Austrian Students’ Union (ÖH) also have online job-hunting portals.

International students from Croatia and third-country nationals (with a valid residence permit for students - "Aufenthaltsbewilligung - Studierender") require a work permit to work in Austria. Students from third countries holding a valid work permit are usually restricted in the number of hours per week they are allowed to work (up to 20 hours per week). Most employers also require applicants to be fluent in written and spoken German. Violation of the legal regulations can result in heavy fines and even being barred from the country. If you have specific questions about working in Austria, please contact the Public Employment Service Austria (AMS) or the Österreichischen Austauschdienst (OeAD).

If you plan to look for a job in Austria after completing your WU degree, please apply for a renewal of your residence permit for students for job-seeking purposes (12 months). Learn more here.
