Teaching Jobs in Austria

Austria is a relatively small country, home to a population of roughly 9 million citizens. It is almost entirely situated in the mountainous region of the northeastern Alps, sharing borders with eight other European nations in all directions. German is Austria’s official language, but locals also natively speak Croatian, Hungarian or Slovene in some regions.

As you may have assumed, the capital city of Vienna is typically the most popular destination where to teach abroad in Austria. A major cultural, political, and economic hub of central Europe, Vienna is home to nearly one third of Austria’s population and is widely considered to be one of the most livable cities in the world. It is an extremely prosperous urban area and, having formerly been the capital of the Austrian empire, boasts a sweeping array of classical architecture and other enriching historical sites.

Other potential destinations where you might teach abroad in Austria include the smaller cities of Salzburg, Klagenfurt, and Graz. Away from the bustle of the capital city, these destinations have the potential to offer the international educator a more laid back, intimate experience of Austrian culture. Don’t fret too much about the decision; because it is such a small country, anywhere you teach abroad in Austria will never be too far away from the next destination!
