Application Requirements

What documents do I need to provide to apply in Austria?

To apply to a university in Austria you will likely be asked to provide some of the following documents:

▪ birth certificate;

▪ recent photos;

▪ your passport or national identity card;

▪ one or more reference letters from past employers or teachers;

▪ copies of past diplomas or certificates, including your graduated Bachelor's degree;

▪ academic transcripts;

▪ letter of intent;

▪ Curriculum Vitae;

▪ Some form of proof that you can support your stay in the country during your studies.

Depending on the subject or specialization of your chosen Master's, you might also be asked to provide scores for additional tests like the GRE, GMAT or LSAT. Check if your programme requires any of these, or others.

The list of documents depends on the specific requirements of universities in Austria so you might be asked to include additional documents. It’s also likely you’ll have to provide official English translations of your documents, or translations in the local language.

Prove your English skills

Because you’ll study an international degree in English, you'll have to present a language certificate. Some popular options for international students are IELTS, TOEFL or C1 Advanced language certificates. You’ll have to meet a minimum language score set by the university, and your test scores shouldn’t be older than 1-2 years. If you don’t meet the minimum language requirements, you will have to improve your skills and scores by taking an English preparation course.
