Not yet graduated at the time of the application?
Don't worry, you can of course already apply, even if your final exam is still to come.
Application for a bachelor degree programme
This isn’t a problem: you can of course submit your application even if you haven’t taken your school leaving exams yet. Simply submit your secondary-school leaving Zertifikate, which provides you university entrance qualification, before you start your studies. In the meantime, upload your most recent school report when you complete your online application.
Applicants from outside Austria are also required to submit confirmation from their school of the exact form of secondary school leaving qualifications they are studying for, including the expected date of completion.
Application for a master degree programme
No problem – you can submit your undergraduate degree documents up until the start of your studies.
When applying online, please upload confirmation from your university of the degree you’re studying for (including the total number of ECTS to be achieved), a list of the remaining courses to be completed, the expected date of graduation, and your transcript of records.
Allow yourself enough time to write a good statement of motivation
The statement of motivation is submitted via the online application platform and is a central element of your application.
It requires you to address the following aspects:
- reasons for choosing a degree programme
- expectations for your future degree programme
- personal strengths and weaknesses with respect to the core focuses of the programme
- (for master programmes) your undergraduate studies/professional experience
- (for part-time programmes) how you will be able to combine family, work and leisure with your studies
Enter your statement directly in the appropriate text box (with a character limit) in the online application platform.
