Students by citizenship, WS 2025/26

People enrolled on 28 February 2026, the ministry's count date for the semester.

Austria

45.9% of 2,268 students

Other EU countries

35.9% of 2,268 students

Non-EU countries

18.2% of 2,268 students

2,122 are on a degree programme and 146 on university courses, preparatory courses or single lectures. 432 were admitted by this university for the first time this semester.

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

1,676 degree studies, 453 of them begun this semester — a different count from the 2,268 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	920	54.9%	219
Diploma	119	7.1%	12
Master's	545	32.5%	204
Doctorate	93	5.5%	18

Studies by the student's citizenship: Austria 580 · Other EU countries 742 · Non-EU countries 354. Figures are rounded, so parts may differ from the total by one or two.

Fields of study

Fields are the international ISCED-F 2013 classification the ministry assigns to each programme, not the university's own programme names.
