You will receive your test results via e-mail. If successful, we will inform you about the next steps for admission and starting your studies. 

The winter semester always starts on October 1st. 

Lateral entry into the degree programme

If you are already studying Computer Science, Architecture or Spatial Planning at another university and would like to continue your studies at TU Wien, please inform yourself about the lateral entry into the degree programme.

German skills

If German is NOT your first or native language, you are required to provide proof of German skills at level A2 or higher at the time when you submit your application for admission to a German-taught programme at TUW. To get admitted at the degree programme you need German language skills at level C1. TU Wien only accepts the certificates listed as proof of competence in German language. Please carefully read the information about proof of language proficiency.

You do not need to present a language certificate to register for and complete the selection or aptitude assessment procedure.

As the tests are conducted in German, we recommend advanced German language skills (at least level B2 CEFR) to be able to participate successfully in the selection or the aptitude assessment procedure.

Further steps for admission

Admission to the degree programme is only possible after successful completion of the entrance examination and fulfilment of the admission requirements for the respective bachelor's programme.
