By citizenship, in the ministry's three groups: Austria, other EU countries, and all other countries. The source does not say where citizens of Switzerland and the non-EU EEA countries are counted. This is not a count of international or exchange students: citizenship says nothing about where someone lived or went to school. Nor is it the fee split, which follows its own rules.

Degree studies, WS 2025/26
27,328 degree studies, 5,295 of them begun this semester — a different count from the 27,264 students above.
A study is one enrolment in one degree programme, not a person. Someone enrolled in two programmes counts twice, while a programme run jointly with another institution — including teacher-training subjects shared with teacher-education colleges — is divided between the partners by an agreed key. So a university can have more studies than students or fewer, and the two counts should not be compared or added. Only degree studies (bachelor's, diploma, master's, doctorate) are counted; continuing-education university courses are not. “Begun” means studies in their first semester — a student who switches programme or adds a second one begins a study without being new to the university.
| Degree type | Studies | Share | Begun |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bachelor's | 15,396 | 56.3% | 3,179 |
| Diploma | 5 | 0.0% | 0 |
| Master's | 9,586 | 35.1% | 1,862 |
| Doctorate | 2,341 | 8.6% | 254 |
Studies by the student's citizenship: Austria 16,659 · Other EU countries 6,621 · Non-EU countries 4,048. Figures are rounded, so parts may differ from the total by one or two.

Completed degree studies in the study year, final figures. These are degrees finished, not people, and a jointly run programme is divided between the partner institutions in the same way as enrolments.
