## Strengths

- 14 degree programmes catalogued from the university's own site and the federal register studienwahl.at, 0 of them taught in English and 14 in German - crawled 08.2026
- Priced per programme, not per institution: Bachelor EUR 7.719 per semester, Magister EUR 8.969, Doctorate EUR 5.399, and an application fee of EUR 550, valid from the winter semester 2026/27. The medical faculty is priced separately and markedly higher: the Bachelor and the Master in Medicine both cost EUR 14.179 per semester from the winter semester 2026/27 - med.sfu.ac.at, 2026-27
- Two different regimes. Human Medicine demands German at C1 before enrolment, and the certificate may be no older than one year - the tightest window in Austria. Psychology runs in a German and an English version; the English Bachelor asks for English B2 evidenced by TOEFL, IELTS Academic, IB, CAE or LanguageCert no older than two years, with no numeric band published, and requires no German at all - sfu.ac.at, checked 2026-08-19
- Campus in Wien; the residence permit requires proof of means at the NAG reference rate - EUR 722,58 a month under 24 and EUR 1.308,39 from 24 - 2026-27
- Non-EU students may work up to 20 hours a week with an employment permit; after graduation Austria grants a 12-month job-search residence permit leading to the Red-White-Red Card

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** yes
- **Dormitory cost:** €374–723
- **Private housing:** €410–615
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Wien
- **How to apply:** OeAD declared Vienna fully booked for the 2026/27 winter semester: applications for a September start are waitlisted and booking reopens only for move-ins from December 2026. A February start (summer semester) is unaffected. ÖJAB, home4students, WIHAST and STUWO run their own waiting lists and were open for September. OeAD itself names three fallbacks: VETHEIM (opens October 2026), The Fizz Brigittenau and The Social Hub. Expect roughly €1,685 before move-in for a €480 single via OeAD: €35 application, two months deposit, €21 per booked month, first month's rent.
- **Notes:** Five channels serve Vienna: OeAD, ÖJAB, home4students, WIHAST and STUWO. A bed in a shared room runs €289–460, a single room €374–723; the mass entry point is €400–500 for a single. A commercial residence costs about twice a dormitory (€970 vs €480). Prices are the AY 2026/27 rates published by the operators.
