FAQs - These are the most frequently asked questions...
How can I apply to study at FH Upper Austria?
You can easily apply online. Details on the application and access to the online application portal can be found at www.fh-ooe.at/application.
What do you do if you don't have a school-leaving certificate at the time of application?
No problem, in this case simply submit these certificates as soon as they are available.
Can I apply for more than one degree program?
It is possible to apply for two degree programs at the same time with two different priorities. If you want to upload separate letters of motivation in the applicant portal, it is best to combine them in one PDF. After submitting the application, you can change the prioritization or supplement the application via the degree program office, preferably by sending an email to the degree program.
Are there tuition fees and scholarships?
Yes, there are tuition fees and scholarships at the FH Upper Austria. A tuition fee of €363.36 per semester is charged for students from EU and EEA countries* - details under Financial Matters. Study grants are regulated in the same way as at universities - see www.stipendium.at.
From/until when can I apply?
The application portal is already available from October for the next academic year, with most degree programs starting to process applications from February. We therefore recommend that you send your application to us by 31 January in order to initiate the admission procedure and secure your place early.
The application deadline is usually June 30th, after which the so-called extraordinary application period begins: during the summer months, places are allocated according to the number of available places. As places are allocated on an ongoing basis until June, we recommend submitting your application by the end of May if possible!
How does the admission procedure work?
- Detailed information on the application can be found at www.fh-ooe.at/application
- Online application for the desired degree program(s)
- Invitation by the faculty to a potential test (only required for some Bachelor's degree programs) and/or to an admission interview with professors from the chosen degree program (required for all Bachelor's and Master's degree programs)
- Written notification of receipt of a study place after completion of the admission procedure described above
Are there potential tests?
Only for the Bachelor's degree programs in Steyr.
How do the interviews take place?
How do the interviews take place? The interviews usually take place on campus. Depending on the degree program, it may be a joint interview with one or two professors or two separate interviews. The invitation and detailed information are sent by the respective degree program office. The interviews usually take place in the summer semester or from mid-February.
How can you prepare for the interview?
The interview is similar to a job interview at a company. It is a good idea if you have already researched the degree program in detail and compared your expectations with the curriculum. You are also welcome to prepare your own questions to find out whether the degree program is the “right” program for your needs.
When do you find out if you have been accepted?
The degree programs also try to provide initial feedback before the application deadline (31.5. or 30.6.). However, there are of course a large number of applications during the current application period for which a final decision on whether we can offer a place can only be made later (waiting list). However, an early application is of course always a sign of well-founded interest and can be recommended.
