What happens after the admissions process?

How is the admissions process assessed?

Every part of the admissions process is assessed individually. Your overall result will determine whether you receive a place in the study programme or not.

How will I know if I have been accepted?

The result will be available within a few weeks after the admission process. All applicants will be notified, in writing, whether they have been accepted or not or whether they are on the waiting list.

This applies to all application dates.

I have been accepted. What do I do now?

Congratulations on being awarded a place! In the written confirmation of your acceptance, we will also tell you what you need to do to register at our degree programme.

I have received a letter of acknowledgement (“Evidenzschreiben”). What does that mean?

Degree programmes that offer additional application rounds are currently not able to put candidates on the waiting list because the ranking may change after the next application round. You have therefore received a letter of acknowledgement, stating that your application will be kept on file and we will inform you in writing whether or not you will be granted a place after the final application round at the latest.

I am on the waiting list. What does that mean?

The waiting list is for those applicants who only missed out on a place by a small margin. These applicants will be informed of their number on the waiting list. If you are on the list, there is still a chance: if one of the applicants offered a place does not wish to accept this place, it will be reallocated and the candidates on the waiting list will move up the list.

I have not been accepted. What can I do now?

If you have not received a place, this is no reason to doubt yourself. Take some time to think about your options in peace.

Would you like to apply for the same course again in the next academic year?

Give it a try! There are a few students who get accepted in their second time of applying. They are often the students who are very motivated and committed to the course because they know exactly what they want. Applying for a second time is well regarded and not a disadvantage in any way.

Are there any other courses you are interested in?

In this case, you have the option to apply for a different degree programme offering a later admissions process. In this case, simply email your new choice to bewerbung@fh-joanneum.at.
