Costs and funding opportunities

Tuition fees

Tuition fees depend on the student’s country of origin and consist of the semester fee and the ÖH fee (student union fee).

(as of October 2025)

EU citizens: €270 per semester
Non-EU citizens: €590 per semester
ÖH contribution: €25.20 per semester

Payment terms

Admission to studies or registration for the continuation of studies can only be processed if the required fee is paid in full and by the deadline. Partial payments are not possible.

The tuition fee must be paid within the admission period! Otherwise, admission to studies will not be granted, or deregistration from studies will be initiated.

Please note that transfer fees may apply for international transfers, and these must be paid by the student.

Cost of living

The cost of living in western Austria is relatively high. We therefore recommend budgeting at least € 1.300 per month (if you need your own accommodation).
