Can I submit scans of copies or official copies instead of scans of the originals?
No, this is not possible. Scans of the original documents must be uploaded.
Which documents need to be translated?
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.
Do my documents need to be legalized?
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.
Can I apply if I do not yet have all the necessary documents, language certificates and/or legalizations?
No! Incomplete documents will result in your application being rejected. You will not be able to reapply for the same degree programme in the same semester. Therefore, do not apply until you have all documents, legalisations and proof of language proficiency.
I only have a provisional certificate yet. Can I still apply?
In any case, a confirmation issued by the university must be provided that the degree program has been fully completed. As a gesture of goodwill, the university may accept a provisional certificate up to one year after graduation.
If the degree was completed more than one year ago, a final diploma must be provided. Under no circumstances will we accept provisional certificates if it has been more than one year since graduation!
I have not yet completed my Bachelor's degree. Can I still apply for a Master's program?
No! Applications are only possible after completion of the previous studies.
