The Tuition Fees for degree programme students
In principle, all students at all Austrian universities are required to pay tuition fees. Exceptions are made for students who are temporarily or permanently exempt from paying tuition fees.
The tuition fee amounts to
- €363.36 per semester for students from Austria or an EU or EEA country,
- €726.72 per semester for third-country nationals.
The ÖH-Fee (also known as the student contribution) must be paid in addition to the tuition fee each semester.
During the fee-exemption period*, degree programme students from Austria, students from an EU or EEA country, convention refugees and third-country nationals (nationals of all other countries) who are treated as equivalent to EU or EEA citizens are exempt from tuition fees.
*Exemption period means: within the minimum duration of study + two grace semesters of the registered course(s).
The ÖH-Fee must be paid every semester, even if students are exempt from tuition fees!
If the exemption period (minimum duration of studies plus two additional tolerance semesters for the registered degree program(s)) is exceeded, both the tuition fee and the ÖH fee must be paid for each semester. Under certain conditions, a remission or reimbursement of the tuition fee can be requested.
