It covers an area of 83,879 square kilometers and is home to a population of over 8 million people. The geography of Austria is incredibly diverse with rolling hills and plains in the east and mountains in the west. The majority of the country consists of low-lying plains and plateaus surrounded by mountain ranges including the Alps, Carpathians and Taunus Mountains. The educational system in Austria consists of four levels: pre-primary education (ages 3-6), primary school (ages 6-10), secondary school (ages 10-14) and tertiary education (university level). Pre-primary education is optional but highly encouraged for children aged 3-6. Primary school is free and compulsory for all children aged 6-10 while secondary school is optional but highly encouraged. Secondary schools are specialized institutions offering vocational training in fields such as engineering, finance or hospitality management. Tertiary education consists of universities offering degrees in various disciplines including business administration, computer science, engineering and medicine. Students may also pursue professional studies such as law or medicine at specialized institutes called “faculties”. The Austrian government provides financial assistance to students attending university through grants and student loans. It also offers scholarships for students from low-income families or those who demonstrate academic excellence. Additionally, the government provides subsidies to private universities to make higher education accessible to more Austrians. To further promote educational development, Austria has established a number of international partnership agreements with other countries including France, Germany and Russia which facilitate student exchange programs and other collaborations between universities around the world. Additionally, Austria has developed several initiatives aimed at improving access to higher education such as scholarships specifically designed for international students or programs that provide financial support for research projects conducted by Austrian faculty members at foreign institutions.
