Deadlines

1. 22 June to 5 September 2027*

   University of Vienna — application period for the winter semester
   Hard deadline

   Details

   The 2026/27 date carried forward. Other public universities run similar windows; check your own.

   The University of Vienna's page, as of 23 September 2026, dates this window precisely and for the cycle that has just closed: "Winter semester 2026/27: from 22 June to 5 September 2026". The 2027/28 window was not published. The 5 September close is the standard Austrian winter-semester cut-off and Study in Austria repeats it with no year at all, so it is carried here provisionally for 2027; the 22 June opening is the University of Vienna's own and could move. Other universities publish their own periods and usually land on the same September date. Applying is not the same as being admitted: admission itself has its own later period, which is a separate entry here.

2. 13 July to 31 October 2027*

   University of Vienna — admission period, when admission is actually granted and you enrol
   Hard deadline

   Details

   The University of Vienna's page, as of 23 September 2026, gives it as "Winter semester 2026/27: from 13 July to 31 October 2026". Submitting an application inside the June-to-September window does not enrol you; you complete admission, pay the OeH fee and are matriculated inside this later period, and 31 October is the statutory end of it for the winter semester. The 13 July opening is a week after IB results, which is why the Austrian calendar works for an IB student at all.

   General closing date at public universities — EU/EEA/Swiss applicants
   Hard deadline

   Details

   5 September is the general public-university date for the winter semester. Fachhochschulen and private universities set their own, usually earlier.
