• Are there any bachelor programmes taught in English?

  No, even if several courses are taught entirely or partly in another language, one of the admission requirements for all bachelor/diploma programmes at the University of Vienna is German. 

  Because of this, a proof of language proficiency in German at level C1 is required for the admission to any bachelor/diploma programme.

  Here you can find all information on the required German language skills.
• I have a GCE ("Britsh A-Levels"). What do I have to bear in mind?

  You can be admitted to a degree programme at the University of Vienna, if your GCE meets the following requirements:

  Four general subjects that are independent from one another have to be completed with grade A*, A, B or C (respectively grades 9 - 4). These subjects must include:

  1. a language
  2. Mathematics
  3. one of the subjects Biology, Physics or Chemistry
  4. a subject of the Humanities

  At least THREE of these subjects must be passed at GCE Advanced Level (A-Level).
  The fourth subject must be passed at the level GCE “Advanced Subsidary Level (=AS-Level) or at the GCSE/IGCSE level respectively.

  If one of the subjects passed at A-Level is German, it can be accepted as proof German language proficiency at level A2 in the admission procedure. This does not replace the proof of German language proficiency at level C1 that is required upon admission.

• How long is my admission letter valid?

  You admission letter is valid for two semesters

  • as long as the curriculum does not change and
  • as long as there are no other changes in study law within this time frame.

  This means: You can be admitted within the admission period of the semester which you have applied for or of the following semester. After this you have to submit a new application for admission. 

  Your admission letter for a degree programme without entrance exam procedure was issued from summer semester 2019 to winter semester 2024/25? In this case it is valid for an unlimited time, as long as it does not contain any other notes and the degree is still offered under the same admission requirements at the University of Vienna. 
• Can I already know before applying which supplementary exams I will have to pass?

  This is not possible as it will be determined individually during the processing of your documents.
• I already have a university degree. Can I apply with this certificate instead of my secondary-school leaving certificate?

  Yes, if your higher education degree certificate is from a degree programme with a duration of at least three years (full time or at least 180 ECTS, e.g. a three-year bachelor programme) at a recognised post-secondary educational institution.
