Next to your proofment of the German language, we need your school certificate/your degree or proof of the exams you passed during your studies in Ukraine (with a translation into German/English by a court-sworn translator).

Admission procedure in the Bachelor's Programme

Starting from winter semester 2019/2020, there will be either admission or selection procedures (limited places) or a study preparation and reflection phase (VoR-phase) for self-orientation (non-limiting) for all Bachelor's Programme at TU Wien.

Information on the admission procedures and the VoR phase can be found in the description of the study program.

What can I do as a non-degree student at the TU Wien?

You have the opportunity to attend individual (english) courses at the TU Wien without being enrolled in a bachelor's, master's or doctoral program. To do so, you have to apply for non-degree studies (attending individual scientific courses or subjects, without finishing a complete study at the TU Wien). A separate application is not required for this. All you have to do is complete the online study application. In addition, we require official proof of identity, such as your passport.

Due to legal requirements in Austria, the courses completed as part of the non-degree program cannot be recognized for a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree.

If you have not yet met all the requirements to start studying at the TU Wien, we recommend you to contact the OeAD. There you will find regularly updated informations, that will help you to start your university education. Among other things, you will find German courses, if you are new to the german language.

Recognition of the qualifications brought along

The nationwide contact points for people with qualifications acquired abroad (AST contact points, opens an external URL in a new window) advise everyone who has a qualification from abroad. Fixed counseling locations are listed at www.anlaufstelle-ankennkennung.at/anlaufstellen, opens an external URL in a new window, opens an external URL in a new window, but additional counseling locations are offered depending on the federal state. For all Ukrainians who want to discuss professional recognition, the counseling service is still possible. However, AST funding for the translation costs is only possible after receipt of the expellee ID card.

Since the AST deals with professional recognition, the clarification of university recognition (recognition of Matura for the purpose of studying, recognition of a study achievement for the purpose of further studies) must be clarified directly at the universities.

In the context of recognition and flight (topic: missing documents), the following must be observed in particular:

Various residence permits for researchers and students

  • Residence Permit Researcher
  • Researcher Mobility
  • Researcher Mobility Program
  • Researcher job search and family community (with researcher mobility)
