The University Preparation Programme of the Vienna Universities (Vorstudienlehrgang der Wiener Universitäten, VWU) offers courses and supplementary examinations for future students who

  • do not have sufficient German language proficiency or
  • whose secondary-school leaving certificate was issued in a non-EU/EEA country.

Example 1: John has received an admission letter which stipulates supplementary examinations in English and Mathematics. He registers for the relevant courses in the VWU and takes the supplementary examinations there. Afterwards, he is admitted to a degree programme.

Example 2: Mary has applied for admission to the bachelor programme in Physics. Her secondary-school leaving certificate was issued in an EU/EEA country or Switzerland, but she does not have proof of German language proficiency at level C1.
