Courses of the Preparation Programme prepare for the supplementary examination that tests the language skills needed to successfully complete your studies at a Viennese university. These skills cannot be described by the CEFR. You can find details to course levels in the Preparation Programme here.
Can I choose my course times?
You will be allocated a course that corresponds to your language skills. But we are happy to try and accommodate your preferred times.
How often do I have to attend the course?
The courses take place on Mondays to Fridays. You will receive a detailed schedule at the beginning of the semester. You must attend at least 70% of course lessons each semester.
What is a ‘bonus test’?
Progress tests can also be called bonus tests. If you pass these tests during the semester, you will only have to pass a speaking test at the end of the semester and will be excused from the written part of the test.
Where can I buy the textbooks for my course?
In any bookshop or on the internet.
