Deadlines and intakes
Dates are set by each university. At the University of Vienna, the admission periods for third-country nationals were 22 June to 3 August 2026 for winter semester 2026/27, and 16 November 2026 to 7 January 2027 for summer semester 2027. Programmes with entrance procedures, such as psychology, medicine and many arts programmes, have much earlier registration dates, often in spring.
Do not work to the university deadline alone. The permit needs about six months, and the authority has up to 90 days. For an October start, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna warns that if you do not submit your permit application in July you may not arrive in time. Apply to your university as early as the window opens, and file the permit application the day you have your admission letter.
Language you need
Most bachelor's programmes at public universities are taught in German, and you must prove German at the level your university sets before full admission. English-taught programmes are mostly at master's and doctoral level. English requirements are set by each programme.
German matters outside the lecture hall too: residence authorities, landlords and most part-time employers work in German. If you want to stay after graduating, reach a professional level of German before your final year.
Free for students
Tell us what you want to study. Your request goes to the admissions team or to an adviser who works with them will contact you by email to help with your application. It costs you nothing.
Paying for it
Government schemes for international students coming to Austria. Each one sets its own rules on nationality and level.
Student reviews: none yet for Akademie der Steuerberater:innen und Wirtschaftsprüfer:innen. If you study or studied here, yours would be the first.
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
Get in touch
Studies Multiverse passes your question to the admissions office by email, and they reply to you directly. We do not sell your details to anyone.
For staff of Akademie der Steuerberater:innen und Wirtschaftsprüfer:innen
Staff can manage this page at no cost: correct the details, add your logo and a description, see how many students look at it, add photographs and courses, and answer the questions they send. All of it is free.
Students: this is not an application. To apply or ask about courses, visit Akademie der Steuerberater:innen und Wirtschaftsprüfer:innen’s website.
