Master´s programmes
Not every completed degree automatically entitles the student to take up a Master's program at the University of Graz.
In many cases, the curriculum of the intended master's programme provides information about which previous programme athorises direct admission (i.e. registration without submitting an application).
If you have any queries, please ask our Academic Affairs office.
Should your completed programme not authorises direct admission, we will have to check wether it is a subject-related programme that may entitle you to commence the master's programme of your choice.
If you have never studied at the University of Graz before and would like to apply for a non-consecutive degree program, you can find the necessary steps to register for a degree program here.
Please note that all applications must be reviewed first and therefore the appointment selection will be unlocked for you at a later date.
Students returning to university

As soon as you have submitted all required documents, we will start processing your application. - You have an active UNIGRAZonline account and would like to open an additional non-consecutive Master's program:
For this, the application is done directly via your UNIGRAZonline business card under the item "My applications".
Processing your application
If the formal requirements are met, your application will be sent to the responsible curriculum commission (CUKO) for reviewing the content requirements. Based on the documents submitted, the CUKO will make one of the following decisions:
- (A) Direct Admission
- (B) Admission with additional courses
- (C) no admission
In case A, after receiving the CUKO's evaluation, you will be informed by e-mail from the Academic Affairs Office that you can enroll.
In cases B and C, legal proceedings will be initiated. You will receive an information letter (called Parteiengehör) from our legal department. After receiving the Parteiengehör, you have the opportunity to submit a statement. If there is no response from you, a notification (Bescheid) will be sent to you after the 14-day response-period has expired. The enrollment in the Academic Affairs Office in case B) is only possible with the notification!
Consecutive master’s programme
You have received a bachelor's degree from the University of Graz and now wish to begin with a consecutive master's programme (for example: bachelor's programme Physics > master's programme Physics).
Once the relevant examination department has finalised your bachelor's programme, you will receive a letter of award for your academic degree at Academic Affairs office. At the same time, you can also activate your consecutive master's programme within the general admission period and grace period.
If you finish the bachelor’s programme after the general admission period or after the grace period, it is possible to start a consecutive master’s programme after these deadlines.
If you would like to open the consecutive Master's program at a later date, you are welcome to notify us of your wish to enroll by e-mail during the respective enrollment deadlines.
Deadlines
The current admission deadlines can be found here. We recommend to not submit your Master application shortly before the Admission period ends as admission for the intended semester can not be guareented.
The processing time may vary depending on the type of admission (without conditions/with conditions/no admission). In the case of an administrative procedure (issuance of a decision), an average processing time of 12 weeks can be expected. Please take this time into account in your study planning.
If you have any questions regarding the admission process, please contact zulassung.master(at)uni-graz.at.
Please note:
International applicants and Austrian applicants who have acquired a degree abroad must always apply for admission. You can get more information about application and related deadlines here.
