Admission requirements

What are the admission requirements for bachelor programmes?

To qualify for admission to a university of applied sciences bachelor degree programme, you must have an Austrian school-leaving certificate or an equivalent qualification.

Do you have a school-leaving certificate issued outside Austria?

We’ll check to make sure it’s equivalent to an Austrian certificate in accordance with section 4 of the University of Applied Sciences Studies Act (FHG) when you’ve sent us all the relevant documentation via our online application tool. If it is not an equivalent, you’ll receive information on the supplementary examinations you’ll need to pass.

What if German isn’t my first language?

If you are applying for a programme which is taught in German, your application must include proof of B2 German language proficiency at the time of your application (see Common European Framework of Reference for Languages for more details). We accept the DaF (German as a foreign language) qualification.

​​​​​​​Do you still need to complete your military or alternative service?  If you’re a male Austrian citizen, we strongly recommend completing your compulsory national service before beginning your studies. This will allow you to finish your degree with no interruptions and start your career without delay afterwards.

Will I have to provide evidence of professional activity during my studies?

We’re convinced that linking theory and practice together closely is the key to the success of a part-time degree. The curriculum therefore includes compulsory work experience. However, if you are engaged in a relevant professional activity, the respective ECTS points will be credited on a semester-by-semester basis.

Otherwise, you'll need to complete an internship equivalent to the respective ECTS workload: 1 ECTS equals 25 hours.
