Additional examination in Descriptive Geometry

For the following bachelor programmes, at least 4 hours per week of Descriptive Geometry after the 8th school year must be proven as an additional qualification in accordance with the University Entrance Qualification Decree ("Universitätsberechtigungsverordnung" – UBVO):

• Architecture
• Chemical and Process Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Geodesy and Geoinformation
• Mechanical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering - Management

NOTE! Geometric Drawing is not sufficient!

If sufficient proof of Descriptive Geometry cannot be provided, the additional examination must be taken during the bachelor programme. For this purpose, a separate course ("Zusatzprüfung aus Darstellender Geometrie") is offered at TU Wien, which must be successfully passed before completion of the bachelor's degree.

Supplementary examinations

The university entrance qualification can be proven by an international qualification if there are no substantial differences to the Austrian secondary school leaving certificate.

If the school years only amount to eleven years, general educational content is missing or if there is no proof of knowledge of the German language, so-called supplementary examinations (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and/or German) are prescribed in the admission letter in order to establish equivalence on the basis of legal requirements and must be passed before admission to the Bachelor's degree programme,

All supplementary examinations have to be taken at the university course "Vorstudienlehrgang der Wiener Universitäten -VWU" (University Preparation Programme of the Vienna Universities), which has been set up for this purpose and at which the corresponding courses are attended before the examination. For this purpose, you will first be admitted to the VWU as a non-degree student. As soon as you are admitted as a non-degree student to take the supplementary examination(s) at the TU Wien, you have to take the supplementary examination exclusively within the framework of the VWU and prove this by means of the corresponding positive certificate of the supplementary examination.

After admission as an non-degree student for the VWU other certificates are no longer accepted! The extension of the residence title student will only be granted by the Foreigners Authority if the supplementary examinations have been successfully completed at the VWU!

All information on the preparation programme (registration, costs, deadlines, etc.) can be found on the homepage of the VWU, opens an external URL in a new window.
