Admission Without Entrance Exams: For 99% of programs in public universities, admission is based solely on your high school diploma and language proficiency.
Academic Freedom: The Bologna system allows students to create their own schedules, making it easier to balance studies with part-time work (students are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week).
Career Prospects: Graduates of Austrian universities are entitled to extend their residence permit for 12 months to seek employment within the country.
The primary requirements for applying to an Austrian university are a high school diploma (or college/university degree) and proof of German or English language proficiency.
Note: Since CIS countries follows an 11-year school system while Austria follows a 12-year system, most applicants must attend a university preparatory program (VGUH) before starting their bachelor's degree.
Despite the loyal rules,, certain competitive fields have quotas and mandatory entrance tests. These include:
Medical studies;
Psychology and Biology;
Journalism and Public Relations;
Creative and Arts programs (require a portfolio and an audition/competition).
For these fields, there are intensive preparatory programs (6 to 12 months) in collaboration with our Austrian partners to maximize your chances of success.
