Knowledge of Foreign Languages

In general, the language of instruction of degree programmes at the University of Vienna is German.

Some master programmes are taught in another language or in a combination of German and another language. Legal basis for this is the curriculum of the respective programme.

For some degree programme, you need to prove your language proficiency before admission and upload the certificate in the application. This can be done via your previous studies or a certificate of the respective language.

For other degree programmes, the indicated level is a recommendation. Without knowledge of the language the progress of your studies will be delayed. However, the level of knowledge is not checked during admission process.
