Resources for USTAs in the teaching assistant program in Austria

 

This page provides you with helpful information regarding teaching assistant jobs in Austria, legal issues surrounding your stay in the country, health insurance, and teaching resources you can use in the classroom. Please be sure to read the handbooks provided here, as they provide guidance during the pre-departure process and give you information relevant to work-related issues and daily life in Austria.

 

Handbooks and downloads

The Fulbright Austria pre-departure handbook provides you with all of the information you need to prepare to teach English abroad in Austria.

 

The memorandum for new US teaching assistants (USTAs) summarizes the information contained in the pre-departure handbook and helps you navigate the most important action items, including the medical history form and the letter of acceptance for first-year USTAs. If you applied for an extension of your English teaching assistant job in Austria, please use the letter of acceptance for second-year USTAs.

 

Every year, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research (BMBWF) issues its own handbook for the program in English and in German, and all USTAs are required to read it. Additionally, Fulbright Austria prepares a handbook for USTAs with helpful information about living and teaching English in Austria. Fulbright Austria also recommends that you contact the teaching assistant assigned to your school(s) in the previous school year. To look up former teaching assistants and their assignments, please check our participant lists.

Application for Austrian residency permit

The pre-departure handbook provides you with information about applying for the residency permit you will need in order to teach English in Austrian schools, including a link to the application and step-by-step instructions on how to fill it out. You can find additional information about the residency permit application on the website of the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) and can also locate the various authorities you'll need to visit in your area using this website.
