Admission requirements International
What you need to know when applying to a degree program
If you have completed your school education or studies abroad, certain criteria must be met in order for you to begin your studies at FH OOE. Some international qualifications are recognized as equivalent to an Austrian secondary school diploma and provide access to Austrian universities. There are bilateral agreements with certain countries, as well as official conversion tables for others.
The academic requirement for admission to a Master's degree program at a university of applied sciences is the completion of a relevant Bachelor's degree or an equivalent or higher qualification from a recognized national or international university.
Bachelor's degree programs
It can be challenging to determine whether your school-leaving certificate qualifies you for admission to a university of applied sciences in Austria, especially if it was obtained outside Austria.
If your school qualification is not considered equivalent, additional requirements may apply, such as completing an additional preparatory year or obtaining a comparable qualification. If you are unsure whether you meet the admission requirements, we encourage you to apply. Each application is reviewed individually, and you will receive a qualified response quickly!
