Admission interview

An interview is held to gain an initial impression of your suitability for the programme and profession. The content of the interview may relate to career and study motivation, CV and training, ability to reflect and perform, ability to work in a team and the like.

Your written application documents (letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, form of application, etc.) are also decisive for your ranking in the admission procedure.

Decision on admission

Applicants are ranked according to a points system. You will be informed by e-mail whether you have been allocated a place on the programme or whether you are on the waiting list. Information on the ranking or a possible place on the waiting list will not be provided by telephone.

Deposit

After the binding allocation of a place, University of Applied Sciences Burgenland collects a deposit of € 350 from students to secure their place. This deposit is refunded to active students after the end of the first semester. If an applicant does not fulfil the admission requirements before the start of the programme (e.g. did not pass the resit of the school-leaving examination, did not pass the additional qualification examination, etc.), the deposit is also refunded. In all other cases, the deposit is forfeited.
