Studying and completing achievements (exams) at the University means that you have a lot of freedom on the one hand, but also a lot of responsibility, on the other. The biggest difference to student life at school, universities of applied sciences and some other universities is the organisation of studies, which is characterised by planning your schedule of classes relatively freely.
Freedom to study.
The courses and exams that you have to take (regardless of their form, i.e. on-site, digital or hybrid) are not specified entirely in a strict schedule. They are a combination of your degree programme’s curriculum and the range of courses offered in the current semester.
The Admission Office is the gateway to the University of Vienna. It is responsible for the admission to bachelor’s, diploma and master’s programmes. In addition, it is responsible for all other matters related to the admission to degree programmes, such as entrance exam procedures, the tuition/Students’ Union fees or the university entrance qualification examination. For further information, please visit https://studieren.univie.ac.at/en/. If you have any questions, please use the following contact form.
All information and contacts for a successful start to your studies can be found in the University of Vienna Welcome Guide.
