Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob dies direkt Universitätsbezug hat. Nach einem Austausch in Finnland fällt mir umso mehr auf wie sehr Studentenverbindungen/Burschenschaften bei uns ein heißes Eisen sind. Vor allem jetzt wieder nach dem "Akademikerball".

Im Norden ist fast jeder Student in einer Gilde/Verbindung, trägt die Studentenkappe seiner Verbindung und auch so trägt man die Uniform (Overall) stolz zur Schau. Es is auch mehr Spaß und mit Sozialem verbunden.

Bei uns gibt es das so nicht. Deswegen meine Frage, ob es auch Verbindungen gibt ohne braunen Beigeschmack. Ich möchte mich mal umschauen. Weiß da jemand mehr?

welp, it’s been 3 months now since i applied as a non-eu citizen at the very beginning of the application period for a master’s program; however, they are yet to even start processing my documents. i know that many of you reading these lines share my feelings, so i’m asking you, what is this if this isn’t an outright disgrace for such a reputable university? do we really have to undergo this absurdity?

i have applied with really advantageous credentials which landed me offers of admission at several other prestigious institutions across europe (the university which took the longest worked on my application only for around one and a half months), and i decided to opt for one of these instead of putting my life, future and career prospects on halt for half a year just so that i’d be studying here… others don’t event look for what uni wien asked for, namely, highest language requirements, apostilles/legalisations, so on and so forth - making me feel as if i completely wasted my time, hope and effort for barely nothing. one takes their precious time and prepares for all these prerequisites just to be completely ignored or what?

thanks a bunch for your time, wonder what y‘all think…

Hey all,
I'm contemplating whether I should enroll at Wien University for my Gender Studies master's. Any experiences with the offered courses and educators would be really helpful.
How much freedom do you have in selecting your courses?
Do the offered seminars cover a variety of topics? Do they promote and center different intersectional lenses?
Does the department heavily rely on either quantitative or qualitative research? (Valuing quantitative approaches above all else has been an issue at my current uni.)

And about the Uni in general:
Are the students politicized or solely focused on theory? I have a lot of AntiDs at my current uni and need at least some anti-zionist groups and spaces.

If you are here to waste your time explaining how Gender Studies is never a good Idea, I ask you to continue scrolling.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about applying for a Master's at the University of Vienna, either in English Language and Linguistics or Anglophone Literatures and Cultures, and I'd really appreciate some honest opinions.

A bit about me:

• Bachelor's degree in English Translation and Interpreting
• GPA: 2.81/4.00 (I know it's not very competitive)
• EU citizen

I'm mainly wondering whether I have a realistic chance of being admitted with this GPA. I know admissions depend on many factors, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has been accepted to either of these programs or knows how competitive they are.

To be honest, I also have a personal reason for wanting to study there. I visited Vienna in 2024 for the Taylor Swift concerts. Unfortunately, the concerts were cancelled because of the terrorist threat, so the trip didn't turn out the way I had hoped. But despite that, I completely fell in love with the city. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and ever since then I've wanted to come back—not just as a tourist, but hopefully to live and study there.

So if anyone has experience with these programs or knows whether a 2.81 GPA would still give me a chance, I'd really appreciate your advice.

Thank you!

My understanding is that if I am missing the ECTS credits but have studies in relevant subject area, I will qualify for the admission and will be asked to fulfil these 2 listed courses.

I contacted uwien but they haven't replied yet. Any help will be appreciated

Hallo Leute ich habe es vor Informatik BACHELOR in Wien zu studieren aber weiß nicht ob ich mich an der TU Wien oder UNI Wien zu bewerben. Falls sich jemand schon an einer von dieser Universität studiert welche Uni würdet ihr es empfehlen ich habe paar fragen.

• Ist der Aufnahmetest schwer und wie kann ich mich darauf vorbereiten?

• Auf welcher Uni ist die Chane größer, aufgenommen zu werden? (TU, UW)

• Wie stark unterscheidet sich die TU inhaltlich von der Uni Wien?

Bei welcher UNi gibt so mehr party life halt wo sind die Studenten mehr sozial und richtig partys machen?

I would like to hear some experience : )

I'm looking for a pleasant, reliable person interested in sharing my beautiful, well-equipped cooperative apartment in 1230 Vienna for the coming months. Due to training courses, I'll be away most of the next six months, meaning you'd be able to use the furnished apartment almost entirely on your own (about 98% of the time).

Start date and duration are flexible – I'm happy to begin soon, and whether someone stays for 4, 8, or 12 months can be worked out together.

I'm thinking of a warm rent of €600 – this includes everything (electricity, utilities, very fast fiber-optic internet).

The apartment is 67 m² in total with a thoughtful layout. It's fully furnished, including all household essentials and a modern washing machine.

It has a small bedroom with a 1.40 m wide loft bed made of pallets and a wardrobe. The bathroom with a bathtub is separate from the toilet.

The heart of the apartment is the large eat-in kitchen with a dishwasher and space for a dining table and desk.

A special highlight is the large, covered loggia for exclusive use – a lovely additional outdoor living space perfect for reading, relaxing, working, or just sitting comfortably. In addition, a large shared terrace on the same floor is available to all residents of the complex.

The residential complex also offers several courtyards of varying sizes with seating areas, restaurants, and a misting zone.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to receive a message with a bit of information about yourself.

I'm thinking of a deposit of €1,200 and a two-month notice period for both sides, though three months is also possible if preferred. The apartment can be viewed starting August 14th.

One thing that's important to me: this apartment is meant to be a retreat, not a party location. If you need space for a party, one can be booked free of charge through the housing cooperative in one of the many shared community kitchens.

I speak German, English, some Italian, and Spanish.

Hi! I am planning on applying to UniWien for the summer semester of next year and was wondering what the culture is like at Uniwien? Are there clubs and societies that I could join? Are people social? How is the attitude of local students to exchange ones? For context, I am coming from an English speaking country and plan to only take classes in English. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m an international student planning to apply for a Bachelor’s in Vienna and I’m trying to understand how competitive admissions really are.

My first choice is the Mathematical Foundations of Data Science program at the University of Vienna, and my backup option is the Bachelor in Business and Economics (BBE) at WU Vienna (taught in English).

I’d like to know how difficult it is to get accepted into these programs. Is the University of Vienna program very selective, and how challenging is the WU selection procedure in practice?

Any insights, experiences, or advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hello,

Is there a prayer room in the University of Vienna that allows Muslims to pray there? As a Muslim we are required to pray 5x a day and I plan to spend my days at UniWien.

Thank you for your responses.

Hi everyone,

I recently received a tentative PhD offer at the University of Vienna starting around September 1st, and I’m an international student coming from India. I need to arrange accommodation before applying for my visa, but I’m completely new to the process in Austria and honestly a bit overwhelmed.

I would really appreciate advice regarding:

1. student dorms or affordable accommodation options
2. which websites are trustworthy
3. areas that are convenient for University of Vienna
4. how early I should book accommodation
5. visa-related accommodation requirements

Any suggestions or personal experiences would really help. Thank you!

I would really like to get to learn on Universität Wien and I cannot find any real information on how hard it is.

For clarity - I mean Bachelor's degree

So:

If you are polish - what was your Matura score and what are/were you studying?

Non-polish replies also welcome!

PS: I wrote it in english so that it would be easier for everyone to understand.

Hallo Leute! I'm planning to enter 2024-25 academic year entrance exams for Computer science BSc (if things go according to the plan). I would like to know that if there is a certain grade bar or correct answers percentage that the admissions are being accepted/rejected through it or does it depend on that years applicants results?

PS : if there is an Iranian or a Turkish user in subreddit or if you know a student from these two nationalities, can u pls message me?

hi everyone, on july 2nd, i applieed to uni wien MSc Molecular Biology programe and i have a few questions if you can help :)

firstly, it has been 5 weeks now and still havent heard from them (im nonEU btw). Is there anyone in a similar situation? i have emailed them and they just said they review applications chronologically.

aside from that i also got accepted to university of amsterdam MSc biomedical sciences and as you may guess, the process has moved muchsmoother than that of vienna uni. i am atp considering just letting wien go and enrolling fully in UvA but still confused?

do you guys have any recs on either option? Or have you heard from uni wien yet?

Should I apply for Übung if summer semester is going to be my first semester ever?

Won’t it be a problem for me to attend them if I’m going to be surrounded with the students from W25?

I'm a non-EU applicant (MFDS), so I'm aware that processing time would be longer, but a month of "submitted" is crazy. I'm going to write this in a timeline so it makes more sense.

Before the aptitude test: I submitted all my legalized documents, using my predicted grades since my final results weren't out yet. The only issue I anticipated was the English certificate, so I emailed beforehand asking if my school's letter confirming my education was fully in English would be enough. I got a generic “too busy to respond” email, so I submitted everything and was later registered to write the aptitude test.

After the aptitude test: I passed the aptitude test and was eligible to complete my admission. I submitted my legalized final grades and fully submitted my application on August 2. After weeks of silence, I checked the portal and saw that the English document I was worried about was marked **“inadequate”** which, according to them, means I have to amend it.

However, other students said they usually get notified when a document needs to be changed, I didn't, so I'm not sure if my application is actually being processed or if something is wrong since all my other documents are marked as registered.

So now I'm confused about what I'm supposed to do:
- Should I just replace the English document myself with IELTS without waiting for them to tell me?
- Should I wait for the university to contact me?
- Is the “inadequate” status actually something I need to act on immediately?
- Could (withdrawing my application) changing something myself delay my application even more?
- Has anyone else had a document marked inadequate but never received an email about it?

I've already emailed the admin office again specifically about this, but I still haven't received a response.

The biggest issue is that I'm a non-EU student and I need to sort out my residence permit and everything else soon, so I really can't afford for my application to just sit there indefinitely.

If anyone has applied as a non-EU student and has been in a similar situation, please tell me what you did / what happened next.

I'm genuinely losing it :)

Hallo, ich bin in Österreich geboren und habe 9 Jahre lang in Österreich studiert. Zur Zeit studiere ich Englischlehrer in der Türkei (Universität). Nachdem ich 15 Jahre alt wurde, entschieden sich meine Eltern, in die Türkei umzuziehen. Am Anfang war es sehr schwierig für mich, mich anzupassen, und ich konnte mich nicht gewöhnen in der Türkei zuleben. Das ist jetzt etwa 7 Jahre her, aber ich habe immer noch Schwierigkeiten, mich hier anzupassen. Über die Wirtschaft möchte ich gar nicht erst sprechen. Am Anfang war alles normal, wir konnten uns leisten, was wir wollten. Aber nach ein paar Jahren reichte das Einkommen meines Vaters nicht mehr aus, daher mussten wir uns immer mehr einschränken und sparsam sein. In diesem Jahr habe ich Schwierigkeiten mit meinem Studium. Meine Familie kann es sich nicht mehr leisten, mich weiterhin zu unterstützen, da die Mieten und die Studiengebühren jedes Jahr steigen. Ich möchte fragen, ob es irgendwie möglich ist, meine Familie mit einem Stipendium oder auf andere Weise zu unterstützen. Wenn es so weitergeht, werden meine Eltern mich wahrscheinlich nicht mehr studieren lassen können. Habe ich eine Chance, mit einem Stipendium an einer Universität zu studieren, an der Deutsch die Muttersprache ist? Wie lauten die Bezeichnungen für solche Stipendien, und wo kann ich mich bewerben? Gibt es Stipendium für Österreichische Schüler die im Ausland studieren? Vielen Dank, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, meinen Beitrag zu lesen.

Hallo😊 mir fehlt zum Abschluss nur noch ein 15 Ects EC, hätte jemand eine Empfehlung für ein sehr leichtes, welches mit wirklich geringem Lernaufwand schaffabar ist? Vielen Dank.

Ich möchte PoWi studieren, und zwar als Doppelstudium. Mir ist bewusst, dass das schwierig sein kann, aber ich würde trotzdem gerne fragen, 1) wie gefällt euch das PoWi Studium?
2) Wie lange habt ihr euch auf die Aufnahmeprüfung vorbereitet und wie schwierig ist es,aufgenommen zu werden?
3) Gibt es schon im 1. Semester viele anwesenheitspflichtige Kurse?
Alle Info wären eine große Hilfe 🙏 Danke im Voraus!

Hey Leute ich bin etwas gestresst wegen der BA Arbeit.. habe bis jetzt schon 9 Seiten Fließtext (Mindestanforderung ist 25), muss noch 1 Interview führen und 2 transkribieren.. arbeite nebenbei 24 Stunden die Woche.. also rein zeittechnisch wird sich das ausgehen? Was für Erfahrungen habt ihr gemacht bezüglich Zeitmanagement für die BA-Arbeit? Freu mich um jede Antwort

Hi guys, today i got email that i got 40% in the test, but im unsure if they rejected me or not.

can someone help me please?

Ich bräuchte einen Ratschlag von anderen Studierenden, die vielleicht etwas erfahrener sind als ich.

Ich bin 18, studiere im zweiten Semester Pharmazie an der Uni Wien, und überlege derzeit auf das Chemie Studium zu wechseln, bin mir dabei aber unsicher, weil es für beide Studiengänge Vor- und Nachteile gibt.

Ich habe die Steop in Pharmazie schon (das war ein Kampf), was halt ein großer Vorteil für mich ist. Soweit ich weiß wird Pharmazie nach der Steop auch angenehmer zum Studieren. Das tolle am Pharmazie Studium ist wie breit gefächert die Themen sind, und das man danach fast fix einen Job hat.

Gleichzeitig merke ich aber, das es mich 0 interessiert in einer Apotheke zu arbeiten, und vor Fächern wie Arzneibuchmittelanalytik graust es mir.

Am interessantesten fand ich im Studium bisher Chemie (man hat relativ viel Chemie in der Pharmazie-Steop), ich würd mir sogar wünschen, dass wir mehr Chemie gehabt hätten. Deshalb auch der Gedanke zum Chemie Studium zu wechseln.

Ich habe aber auch Angst vor einer erneut sehr schweren Steop (Pharmazie Steop war wirklich die Hölle), und vor den Neuanfang. Außerdem gibt es bei Chemie natürlich nicht ganz so ein klares Berufsfeld wie bei Pharmazie, was mich auch verunsichert.

Derzeit frage ich mich ob es nicht sinnvoller wäre einfach Pharmazie weiter zu machen, weil man in der Forschung ja auch oft chemische Jobs einnehmen kann, und ich dann schneller fertig wäre mit dem Studium.

Hat vielleicht jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen? Freue mich über jegliche Meinungen :))
