New Curriculum

Here you find the 'Mitteilungsblätter' (official notice for new curricula from the Senate) for our new study programs (valid from 01 October 2024):

Transfer ('Unterstellung') vs. enrollment in the new programme

A transfer ('Unterstellung') is a change to a new curriculum within the same degree programme. Therefore, a transfer/Unterstellung does not affect the period of entitlement to study grants or family allowances.

Inform yourself in advance about the consequences of a transfer on your eligibility of scholarships etc. (directly at the relevant authority).

Attention! A completed transfer cannot be reversed!

Recogntion of completed courses

Courses completed in the old curricula can (possibly only partially) be recognised in the new curriculum.

  • Please note: This does not happen automatically as a result of the transfer, but must be actively applied for.

You can apply for your courses to be recognised at the same time as the changeover, proceed as described here.

You can find more information on the general recognition procedure here: wiwi.univie.ac.at/studium/waehrend-des-studiums/allgemein/anerkennung/

Timing of Transfer

In principle, applications for transfer can be submitted at any time. Please note, however, that the SSC can only recognise courses that already appear on your transcript of records. It is therefore advisable to wait with the transfer until all grades of the current semester have been registered.

If you register for courses during the lecture period, allocation errors may occur. If you have registered for courses under the old curriculum and change during the semester, all active registrations must be changed.

  • Please note that the process of transfer and recognition can take up to 8 weeks. You should therefore consider the timing of your transfer carefully, especially with regard to the course registration period - you cannot register for advanced courses without recognised exams in the new curriculum do not formally fulfil any requirements!
