Student Mobility

Are you deciding to study at the UAS Technikum Wien for one or two semesters as an incoming student? You will enjoy many advantages and opportunities.

You will study at the only purely technical university of applied sciences in Austria and attend high-quality courses in small groups with a high practical relevance with lecturers from business and industry.

You will live and study in a multicultural, sophisticated, yet clearly arranged European metropolis, known for its high quality of life.

As an orientation at the UAS Technikum Wien, you will take part in the one-week Orientation Week at the beginning of the semester. There you will not only find important information about studying at the UAS Technikum Wien, but also an introduction to intercultural topics and Austrian culture. In addition to the Orientation Week program, you will also find various leisure activities organized and carried out by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).

You will study in a multicultural environment, expand your social skills and make international contacts that may be helpful for your future professional life.

Find out about the possibilities of organizing your studies abroad through your home institution. If your home institution is a partner of the UAS Technikum Wien, there is a bilateral agreement (e.g. ERASMUS+) between your home institution and the UAS Technikum Wien. You are exempt from tuition fees and have the option of a grant (e.g. Erasmus+) for your semester abroad.

If your home institution is not a partner of the UAS Technikum Wien, you have the possibility to apply for a semester abroad as a freemover. Freemovers are students who wish to study at the UAS Technikum Wien but whose home institution does not have a bilateral agreement with the UAS Technikum Wien. Please note that in this case the guest student will pay all costs (tuition fees, accommodation, transport, visa, etc.) If you are interested, please contact the Incoming students coordinator directly by e-mail.

In any case, you must have your application for the exchange semester(s) at UAS Technikum Wien approved by your home institution.

Step 1

Select suitable courses for your semester abroad from the English Course Guide or the website of the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. Please make sure that you meet the requirements for the courses you have chosen and that you have a sufficient command of the respective spoken and written teaching languages (German and English: level B2 according to the Common European Framework).

Step 2

The coordinator of the International Office of your home institution must nominate you by e-mail. Please provide the following information:

After your nomination, you will receive an e-mail with all the necessary information about the further application procedure.

An Erasmus+ semester abroad is generally possible from the 2nd academic year in the Bachelor’s program and from the 2nd semester in the Master’s program. In each study program there are further recommended semesters which can be spent abroad.

Applications are submitted via Mobility-Online.

You can also undertake an Erasmus+ funded traineeship abroad from the 2nd academic year as part of your studies. These traineeships can be completed at companies or higher education or research institutions (except EU- institutions) in countries belonging to the Erasmus+ area. You initially apply independently and after the acceptance, you are able to apply for the Erasmus+ grant.

The grant is independent of the remuneration for the traineeship but depends on the country.

In addition to financial support for the compulsory traineeship, financial support is also provided for voluntary traineeships or graduate traineeships following the Bachelor’s or Master’s degree at the UAS Technikum Wien.

You can also apply for a student exchange within our bilateral agreements (outside the Erasmus+ area).

For traineeships outside the Erasmus+ area the one- off mobility allowance is also granted.

The Marshall Plan Scholarship Program (MPS) supports the scientific exchange between students at Austrian higher education institutions and U.S. universities.

Within the framework of the MPS, Master students of the UAS Technikum Wien have the opportunity to receive funding for a research stay of at least three months at a university or research institution in the USA. Scholarships are awarded up to a maximum of € 9000. The result of the research in the USA is a scientific thesis/master’s thesis.

The application documents can be found on the Marshall Plan Scholarship website.

Student Exchange for Studies at partner institutions in Switzerland can be funded via the Swiss SEMP Program.

Erasmus+ Short-term mobilities

Erasmus+ supports physical short- term mobilities of five to 30 days, complemented by a virtual component. The short- term mobilities are usually carried out in the context of a course. A special type of short-term mobility is the so-called Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), which must be carried out together with two other partner institutions. Individual short- term mobilities (summer schools, language courses, …) can also be funded by Erasmus+ or by the International Office under certain circumstances. Students can find detailed information in the Technikum International Moodle Course.
