University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna Admission 2027

Admission at a glance

Non-EU and non-EEA citizens apply to BOKU well ahead of each semester: from 1 March to 31 July for winter semester admission, and from 1 October to 31 December for summer semester admission. For summer semester 2027 entry, the window is 1 October to 31 December 2026; the winter semester 2026/27 window (1 March to 31 July 2026) has already closed. First-time admission runs through four steps: application, pre-registration, in-person registration, and payment of the ÖH union fee and tuition where it applies. Applicants choose between two entry routes depending on where their qualification was earned: a general university entrance qualification from Austria, Germany or South Tyrol, or one earned abroad, which BOKU's international-educational-background pages assess separately. Non-EU/non-EEA students with a student residence permit pay tuition of EUR 726.72 a semester; EU, EEA and Swiss citizens pay no tuition within the standard programme duration plus two tolerance semesters, then EUR 363.36. Every student also pays the ÖH union fee of EUR 26.20 a semester. This research could not confirm BOKU's English or German language test minimums, or whether it charges an application fee, on the official pages reached; those pages point applicants to BOKU Study Services and BOKU-International Relations for programme-specific detail rather than stating a single institutional figure.
