International Student Information

International students may apply to the University of Innsbruck. Applicants who completed their previous education outside the EEA must follow the university's third-country admission procedure and submit the required academic documents. Foreign documents may require legalization and official translation if they are not issued in German or English. Applicants must also meet the language requirements of their chosen programme. Most programmes are taught in German, while selected Master's and doctoral programmes are available in English. Non-EEA applicants should apply early because they have specific application deadlines and may also need sufficient time to complete Austrian residence-permit and visa procedures. Admission requirements can vary by programme.
