Selection procedure

For studies with selection procedures, the number of available study places is limited. Students are selected before they are admitted to the degree programme.

These degree programmes have their own registration deadlines. If the registration deadline is missed, participation in the selection procedure is only possible the following year, as the ranking test only takes place once a year before the start of the winter semester. 

Admission

Admission to the degree programme is only possible after successful completion of the selection procedure and fulfilment of the requirements for admission to the respective Bachelor's programme.

Once you have obtained a study place, you will have to compelte the online registration by uploading all necessary documents. You are NOT required to personally come into the Admission Office! The admission will be done entirely online. Once your application is approved, you will receive an e-mail with all necessary information. Afterwards you will have to pay the prescribed ÖH-/tuition fee to finalise the enrolment. Your student ID card (TUCard) will be sent to you via post to the address provided within the framework of your online registration.
