Its English master's list includes economics, computing and data-related subjects, but selection procedures and prior-credit requirements vary.

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Master's admission requires an eligible bachelor's or diploma qualification assessed against the particular curriculum.
  • Selection procedures and qualitative admission requirements may apply.
  • Applicants educated outside the EU/EEA should follow the relevant document and legalisation instructions; general admission periods do not replace a programme's earlier selection application.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Most English-taught master's programmes require B2 English evidence when applying; some, including English Language and Linguistics, require C1.
  • German or additional-language evidence applies to other routes.
  • Check the programme's Master Access Guide rather than assuming every Vienna degree can be completed in English.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The university operates winter and summer semesters, normally beginning in October and March.
  • Courses with selection procedures may have only one annual application window, even when the general calendar shows two semesters.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • For non-EU/EEA applicants to master's programmes without a selection procedure, the published summer-2027 application window is 16 November 2026–7 January 2027.
  • The three selected English programme examples have selection procedures; that general window must not be presented as their application deadline.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The checked standard non-EU/EEA degree-student schedule is EUR 726.72 tuition plus EUR 26.20 Students' Union fee per semester, total EUR 752.92.
  • Exceptions and equal-status rules can change the assessment.
  • Preparation programmes and continuing-education courses may have separate charges; living costs are additional.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Vienna publishes research and merit grants plus external funding databases.
  • Some university schemes are restricted by EU/EEA/Swiss citizenship or equal status and are not automatic entry scholarships for Indian applicants.
  • Check award-specific residence, study-progress and nationality conditions before relying on funding.
