How to apply?

Application for admission

The designation partner university refers to each university participating in the Joint Master Programme in Comparative Social Policy and Welfare: University of Tampere, Mykolas Romeris University and Johannes Kepler University Linz. The designation home university refers to each student’s home university where the student was first enrolled.

Scholarships and financial aid are awarded in only very few cases and only under certain conditions and circumstances.

Visa
To legally enter Austria, international students require a valid visa. Students of EU or EEA citizenship do not require a visa to live and study in Austria. Furthermore, students must apply for a residence permit (=Aufenthaltsbewilligung).
