Studies at WU Vienna for CEU students

Would you like to enrich your CEU studies? The cooperation between WU and CEU (Central European University) will allow you to attend one or two courses at WU parallelly to your regular studies at CEU.

Application requirements

The exchange is open for CEU students who are actively enrolled in one of the programs running at the CEU Vienna campus AND have completed at least one year of their full-time studies at the time of application.

Students can only apply for courses of their respective level: i.e. bachelor's students can only apply for bachelor-level courses.

To apply, please contact the CEU coordinator directly: Dorottya Urai apo@ceu.edu.

If your application has been successful:

  • You will be contacted by the WU Incoming Team regarding course registration and further details.
