Next, hand in the application form and all required documents either in person or send them via mail to the study services within the general admission period (allgemeine Zulassungsfrist) or the extended admission period (Nachfrist). Your application is evaluated individually by the study services.

  • If you fulfil all admission requirements, you are admitted.

  • In case you lack more than 30 ECTS of admission requirements, you cannot be admitted.

Please note, that we cannot provide any information, whether you will be admitted or which extra courses you will have to take. You will get this information, once the study services have evaluated your admission.

In order to register for the University Entrance Examinations you must be able to prove vocational education and relevant professional experience. Processing happens through the Technical University Vienna. Further information can be found here: https://www.tuwien.at/studium/zulassung/studieren-ohne-matura/

In order to complete your University Entrance Examinations you must be at least 22 years old (or 20 years in case of a vocational education of at least four years). Exams from at least 5 different subjects are required. Preparation normally takes about one year.

In order to study at BOKU, the following exams must be completed successfully:

Exams 1 to 4 must be completed in front of a commission. Exam 5 is a subject from your planned university degree program which is completed as a non-degree student at BOKU.

The University Entrance Examinations only entitle you to study a specific, previously defined university degree program. Changing your degree program is not possible. Admission at BOKU must be submitted at the Technical University Vienna. The files are then passed on to BOKU.
