• A foreign qualification can prove general university entrance qualification if it gives access to all sectors of higher education in the issuing state.
• A foreign qualification also needs at least 12 years of schooling.
• The qualification must be predominantly general education, shown by six general subjects at secondary level II: two languages, mathematics, one natural science, one humanities subject and one more general subject.
• If schooling lasts only 11 years or general educational content is missing, the rectorate may prescribe up to 4 additional exams before admission.
• Additional exams can be taken in the university preparation program and cover biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics and German.
• Not all foreign school-leaving certificates are equivalent to Austrian ones.
• The school-leaving certificate must include the grades in the exam subjects.
• Proof of prior academic achievements from the issuing country is also required, for example semester grade reports or transcripts of records.
• Foreign-language documents need translations unless originally issued in English.
• Documents may need certification, depending on the issuing country: none, apostille, or full diplomatic certification.
• Applications are reviewed in the order received, and incomplete documents trigger a written request to complete them.
