Requirements

On this page you find information about the requirements for a Non-EU Student Exchange visit at the University of Vienna:

• Nomination
• Language Skills 

Nomination

The prerequisite for this is that the University of Vienna has concluded a bi-lateral exchange agreement with your home university and that you have been nominated for an exchange stay within the Erasmus+ International Mobility Programme by your university.

Please keep in mind that at the University of Vienna each bilateral agreement is assigned to a specific field of study/department (and not to an entire faculty).
Nominations outside the agreed field of study are not possible.

Students should contact their home university to be nominated as an Erasmus+ International Mobility student at the University of Vienna (Erasmus Code: A WIEN01).

If you want to come to the University of Vienna for an Erasmus+ International Mobility stay, these are the steps you must take:

The nomination is undertaken exclusively via our online nomination system (Mobility Online). The necessary data will be sent to the partner university by e-mail.      

Deadlines for nomination: 1 May for the winter semester, 1 November for the summer semester. After you have been nominated by your home university, you will receive an e-mail with information on the registration procedure.

Language Skills

Please be aware that you will need to have appropriate German language skills if you wish to study at the University of Vienna. Most of the courses are held in German.

The University of Vienna expects all incoming students to have German language level of B2 (CEFR) for all fields of study except German Philology. If a sufficient amount of courses taught in English is offered by the respective study field at the University of Vienna, the required language level also corresponds to B2.

For students studying German Studies – German Philology, German as a Second and Foreign Language – at the University of Vienna the new required level of German is C1.
