How does the application process work?

Dear students,

To make it easier for you to submit your recognition applications, we are currently introducing a new electronic tool.

From now on, you can submit your applications completely paperless. For exams taken at the institutions listed below, the tool is already available in OSS (Online Student Service):

• Austrian universities (except WU)

• Universities of Applied Sciences, private universities, etc. in Austria

• WU partner universities / WU mobility programs

You can find the link in your OSS under the menu section “"Anerkennung & Abschluss” and then " Antrag auf Anerkennung".

For exams taken at other institutions, you can find more information here:

• Credit Transfer Online Database - Austrian Universities (including Universities of Applied Sciences) and WU (xlsx, 35 KB)

Contact and consultation appointments for questions about credit transfer via Teams

For advice via Teams please make your appointment here.

The team of Study Regulations & Credit Transfer (advice on recognition issues, individual studies, merit and need-based scholarship grants) will be available to you personally in the Study Service Center on Monday, 09:00 am - 12:00 pm.

Credit Transfer procedure

According to § 78 para 4 no. 4 of the Universities Act 2002, a credit transfer procedure can take up to two months. At WU, a credit transfer procedure takes about two weeks.
