Basic information
For admission to the study programmes Cross-Disciplinary Strategies, Industrial Design Investigations and Art Education you need a school leaving certificate, a "Berufsreifezeugnis", or an international equivalent additionally to the successfully
passed entrance exam.
If you do not have any of those you can take an exam called "Studienberechtigungsprüfung". This certificate is then valid
for all study programmes within the same discipline among all Austrian universities - likewise the "Studienberechtigungszeugnis"
from other Austrian universities is valid for the respective study programmes at the Angewandte:
-
Cross-Disciplinary Strategies: "humanities and cultural sciences", "artistic studies", and "natural sciences"
-
Industrial Design Investigations: "artistic studies", and "engineering studies"
-
Art Education: "artistic studies" and education
The Office for Student and Academic Affairs is available for advice and application submissions; guidance with content, determining
topics and elective exams as well as preliminary decisions about admission are the responsibility of appointed consultants.
To avoid unnecessary effort, we recommend only considering the "Studienberechtigungsprüfung" after successfully passing the
entrance exam (which is valid for three semesters).
