Course Information
Most of our courses require you to have a good command of the German language so that you can follow classes, give oral presentations and write papers. We recommend to brush up your German before coming.
A few institutes however offer courses in English. If you want to search for them you must use the course catalogue, click “advanced search” and change the language of instruction.

A regular student needs to gain 30 ECTS per semester. Please be aware that studying in a different language can be more difficult. For this reason most of the international students gain around 20 – 25 credits.
The course catalogue will be published
at the beginning of July for the winter semester and
at the beginning of January for the summer semester.
If you need to present a list of courses at your home university - we recommend to use the course catalogue of the previous year as a guideline until the new catalogue is published: https://lfuonline.uibk.ac.at/public/lfuonline_lv.home
