Studying

  • Can I study and work at the same time?

    Yes, many students combine their studies with part-time employment. However, the Green Chemistry Master’s Programme is demanding and requires regular attendance in lections, laboratory courses and seminars. It is therefore recommended to limit employment to part-time (e.g., up to 20 hours per week) in order to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Please note that working alongside your studies may extend the overall duration of your programme.

  • Where can I find student jobs in Vienna that are compatible with this programme?

    You can find suitable student jobs through:

    Job portals for students: Nebenjob Wien | StudentJob AT

    Schwarzes Brett ÖH

    General job portal: Jobs in Wien – willhaben

    Indeed

    Universities are also always looking for research assistants, either through their job boards or sometimes via bulletin boards

  • I have completed more than 12 ECTS in a boundary elective module. Can I transfer the credit points to free electives?

    Please, consult the Dean of Academic Affairs.

  • Can I transfer ECTS credits between bound elective modules or from free elective module to a bound elective module?

    No, credits are typically bound to the module in which the course is officially listed. Transfers between modules or categories are generally not permitted, unless explicitly approved.

  • What is the policy on using generative AI during my studies?

    The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies (“AI Tools”) is permitted as a support tool (e.g., for brainstorming or obtaining explanations). However, these tools must not be used as a substitute for human critical thinking, expertise, or evaluation. AI Tools should always be applied under appropriate human oversight and control.

    The use of AI Tools to generate or modify figures and graphs is not permitted. Please also verify all sources carefully, as AI-generated references may be inaccurate or fabricated.

    You can find more detailed information in the attached document below.

  • Do I have to complete an exchange semester abroad?

    No, an exchange semester is not mandatory. However students may choose to spend a semester abroad through exchange programmes if they wish.

  • By when do I need to complete my studies to avoid paying for the next semester?

    You must complete all requirements (including submission and grading of your Master’s thesis) before the start of the following semester. If you complete your studies on or before 31 March or 31 October, you are required to pay the tuition fee for the respective summer or winter semester; however, this amount can be refunded upon request.
