The prerequisite for admission to a doctoral programme with international previous education is the existence of an equivalent Master'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 Master's/Diploma degree (officially legalised copy with official translation)
• diploma supplement, transcript of records, index with ECTS and contact hours (officially legalised copy with official translation)
• Summary of the Master's/Diploma thesis (abstract)
• Confirmation of supervision by a professor of TU Wien
• passport copy

ATTENTION: Because of repeated customs payment demands, mail sent via express shipment companies from a non-EU/EEA country may not be accepted by the admission office!

NOTE!

For documents that have not been issued in Austria, there are legalisation requirements. In addition, all documents that are not issued in the original English or German language must be officially translated and inseparably linked to the original document. 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!

In order to obtain admission for the semester applied for, it is recommended to submit the application with all necessary documents as soon as possible. For applications that have not been received in the Admissions Office with all the necessary documents by the end of July (winter semester) or end of January (summer semester), or if documents are missing, admission for the semester you applied for can no longer be guaranteed. In this case, the application will be valid for admission for the following semester.

Send in your documents in a timely manner, allowing for up to 10-12 weeks processing time! Please note, that the Admission Office is not able to provide you with information about the current status of your application until the full processing time has expired!
