Proof of Special University Entrance Qualification

If your citizenship and your school-leaving certificate or degree come from a non-EU/EEA Country,

• you may study only those programmes in Austria, you are allowed to study in the country in which you completed your school certificate / university degree,
• must a university, which is recognised by this country and offers the same study programme, confirm that you have the right to study there (= proof of the special university entrance qualification, “confirmation of a university place”).

This confirmation may not be older than one year and must contain the following points:

• your name
