Registration for VWU students

"I have registered for the supplementary examination in German (EPD), but I don’t know if I will pass the exam."

The registration date for German courses overlaps with the date of the supplementary examination in German (EPD). Therefore, students have to wait for their examination results before they can register for the next course.

If students have passed the written AND oral examination, they must not attend a further VWU-German course.

Step 1 - Wait for the results of the EPD in September

Please be patient and do not register for the German course beforehand. The results of the written examination will presumably be announced in mid-September.

Step 2 - You have passed the written EPD? = Oral EPD

If you have passed the written examination, you should be able to take and pass the oral examination also.

Collect your certificate from VWU in Sechshauser Straße 33A and go to your university to start your degree programme.

Step 3 - You have failed the written or oral EPD? = Register at the Sprachenzentrum

If you have failed one part (written or oral) of the EPD, you have to register for another German course. There is no online appointment needed. We will reserve a few places for students on a first come, first served basis. Limited availability!

Please register at the main office of the Sprachenzentrum. Bring the course fee and the following documents with you:

  • Admission letter of the university
  • Student record sheet ('Studienblatt') of the current semester (summer semester)
  • Student-ID
  • Course fee EUR 1,250

The course fee is EUR 1,223,- for the course and  EUR 27 for additional material. We accept cash, debit card (Maestro), credit card (VISA, Mastercard).

You do not need to go to the admission’s office at your university; the continuation of your studies will be forwarded automatically to VWU in Sechshauser Straße and your university.

Step 4 - Pay the Students' Union Fee (ÖH-Beitrag)

The student union fee is EUR 20.20.

Please pay the amount before the course starts! Without payment you will NOT be registered at your university for the next semester and you will not receive your student record sheet or other official documents (i.e. insurance confirmations or MA 35 documents).

Step 5 - We will e-mail you your course details

We will send an e-mail with your course details approximately 3 days before the course starts.

  • Course time
  • Course location
  • Teacher
  • Course books

You can buy the course books at facultas am Campus.

Step 6 - We wish you a pleasant and successful course!

Your course starts on October 01, 2020.
