Information for incoming exchange students

Students may apply for a study period at the University of Vienna via a CEEPUS Network if the student's home university is a member of such a  network. Please have a look at the list of CEEPUS Networks with the participation of institutes of the University of Vienna.

Students whose university/institute is not part of a CEEPUS Network may apply for the status of a CEEPUS Freemover and therefore  need a 'Letter of Acceptance' from their chosen host-university for their application. Students have to look after getting such a 'Letter of Acceptance' themselves.

Please note that the ‘Letter of Acceptance’ does not have to be provided at the time of the application. Only after the pre-selection by the CEEPUS-office and the corresponding notification the applicants are asked to upload the ‘Letter of Acceptance’.
