Important information about the documents

Here you find FAQs about the document requirements.

No, this is not possible. Scans of the original documents must be uploaded.

If the original documents are not in German or English, a translation must also be submitted. The translation can be in German or English. However, it does not replace the original document. Both documents (original plus translation) must be scanned and uploaded as one PDF document.

The translation must be done by a court-certified translator.

Translations from Austria and abroad are accepted.

Depending on the country in which the documents are issued, legalisation may be necessary. Detailed information about the necessary legalisation can be found here.

The legalization must always be affixed to the original document. Documents without the required legalization cannot be considered for admission.

Language certificates do not have to be legalized.

No! Incomplete documents will result in your application being rejected. You will then not be able to apply again in this semester.

Therefore, in your own interest, please only apply once you have all the required documents, certifications, and the language certificate.

Some studies have restricted admission. This means that you must also take part in an admission procedure for these studies.

The admission procedure is carried out by a different department. If you have any questions about the admission procedure, please contact the relevant department directly.

Affected degree programs can be found here:

Bachelor's degree programs with restricted admission: https://aufnahmeverfahren.uni-graz.at/de/ 
Teacher training programs with restricted admission: https://www.zulassunglehramt.at/

 

ATTENTION: The admission procedure for restricted study programs and the application process at the Academic Affairs Office are independent of each other. This means that it is also possible to go through the application process before taking part in the admission procedure.

For international applicants who are attending the preparatory course (Vorstudienlehrgang), it is important to complete the admission process for the academic year in which they will finish the preparatory course.
