In case of a degree from a foreign post-secondary educational institution (university, university of applied sciences, etc.), a written application for admission, opens a file in a new window must always be submitted with post mail. The prerequisite for admission to a Master's programme with international previous education is the existence of an equivalent Bachelor's or Diploma programme. The completed education will therefore be checked by the responsible Dean of Studies for its equivalence with the corresponding education at TU Wien before admission.

After completing an at least three years degree programme (180 ECTS), you can apply for admission to a Master's Programme. The admission is only possible if you have completed a programme in the same field or a closely related scientific discipline. 

NOTE!

Whether or not your degree is equivalent or closely related can only be evaluated after your application.

You are required to send in the application for admission by post mail (no email, no fax) and have to submit the following documents:

  • duly signed application form
  • supply a valid email-address
  • document of completion of Bachelor/diploma degree (original or officially legalised copy with official translation)
  • diploma supplement, transcript of records, index with ECTS and contact hours (original or officially legalised copy with official translation)
  • proof of Proficiency of German: Competence in German Level A2 and/or Level C1 (original or officially legalised copy) except English language master programmes
  • proof of Proficiency of English: Competence in English Level B2 (original or officially legalised copy) for the English language master programmes
  • passport copy
  • Master's Programme Architecture: in addition, an online application for the "Master's degree program in Architecture" with additional electronic submissions in TISS must be submitted.
  • Master's Programmes Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering - Management: additional an official description of the attended courses (Syllabus) and an explanation of the grading system.
  • Master's Programme Biomedical Engineering: additional, indication of the desired focus within the Master's programme Biomedical Engineering (defined in curriculum).

NOTE!

Documents issued in countries other than Austria are subject to notarisation regulations. All documents whose originals were not drafted in German or English shall be officially translated. Please have documents translated only after notarisation. The official translation must be inseparably attached to the original document!

Please note that for administrative reasons a maximum of 2 applications for admission per person are allowed!

NOTE! Without exception, the application for admission to the Master's programme may only be submitted once the Bachelor's (Diploma)programme has been completed! This means when

  • you have completed all the ECTS credits prescribed in your degree programme and
  • you are no longer entitled to take examinations in the Bachelor's (Diploma) programme.

This is the case if you have already received a Bachelor's (Diploma) degree certificate or are only waiting for the Bachelor's (Diploma) degree certificate to be issued. In the latter case, a confirmation of graduation from your university (or university of applied sciences) and the transcript of grades/diploma supplement will also be accepted for the application.
