Language requirements

Please be aware that you will need to be able to understand, speak and write German at least at an adequate level if you wish to study at the University of Vienna. With the exception of only certain fields of study, the courses are held in German.

Exchange students who find a sufficient amount of courses not taught in German in their field of study may basically study at the University of Vienna even without any knowledge of German. To prevent misunderstandings please discuss this option with your mobility coordinator. However, we strongly recommend at least basic German skills in order to find your way around in Vienna.

Accomodation

The University of Vienna does not run any own student halls of residence. Students are therefore responsible by themselves to organise the accommodation for their stay in Vienna. We strongly recommend starting to search for accommodation as soon as possible.
