    About

    OLIve-UP is a university preparatory program for people of refugee backgrounds living in the European Economic Area who wish to apply to an English-language Masters degree in Europe.  It is a registered non-degree program of Central European University (CEU) in Vienna.  CEU is an Austrian and American accredited university, offering Masters programs fully accredited in both Austria and the United States (and, in some cases, Hungary).

    The OLIve-UP program will run in Vienna from January to August 2022.  Previous programs have run in Berlin and Budapest. OLIve-UP programs have run since 2017 and have a good record of getting students into higher education - about 70% of our students are accepted to a degree program after OLIve-UP.

    The program is fully-funded and should the student be accepted to a Masters degree program at Central European University, scholarships are available.
