Why do I have to pay a registration fee?

Your registration fee is used to cover a small part of the expenses that we incur as a result of the selection procedure. The selection procedure was developed to ensure that you only register for a WU bachelor's program if you intend to enroll. If you successfully complete the selection procedure and are admitted to the program, you will receive a welcome voucher worth the monetary value of the registration fee.
 

How can I pay the registration fee?

You can pay the registration fee by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club), eps online bank transfer, or online banking. You will find the bank details directly in the registration tool. If you have transferred the amount using online banking, it will take a few days until the payment is deposited into WU's account. You can check your payment status in the registration tool: A green check mark means that we have received your payment.
 

I have no credit card and no access to eps online transfer services. How can I pay the registration fee?

You can transfer the registration fee using online banking. You will find the bank details directly in the registration tool. If you have transferred the amount using online banking, it will take a few days until the payment is deposited into WU's account. The full amount needs to have been deposited into WU's account by the end of the registration period.
 

I'm having trouble with making the payment, who should I contact?

Please send an email to aufnahmeverfahren@wu.ac.at. We will do our best to answer as promptly as possible. It's important to us to answer your questions completely and accurately, so we may not be able to respond the same day.

I have accidentally paid the registration fee twice - what should I do?

Nothing. If you have paid the fee twice for the same program (e.g. you paid twice for BBE), we will automatically refund one payment after a few days.

How long will it take for the green check mark to appear after I have made my payment?

If you pay your registration fee using eps online transfer service or by credit card, you will see the green check mark indicating that your payment was successful right away. If you have transferred the amount using online banking, you won't see the green check mark until the payment has been deposited in full into WU's account. Usually, this only takes a few days. The full amount needs to have been deposited into WU's account by the end of the registration period.
 

I'm interested in more than one bachelor's program at WU. Do I have to pay the registration fee for each program separately?

Yes, you have to pay the registration fee for each program separately, and then complete all the required steps for the selection procedure separately for each program as well.

Is the registration fee refundable under certain circumstances?

No, the registration fee is non-refundable, without exception.

In the registration tool, we ask you to complete two surveys. For the second survey – “External evaluation of the admission process” – you will either need your Austrian social security number or, if you don’t have one, a substitution code.

To get your substitution code, go to the last page of the registration tool and click on the button “Request substitution code”. It may take several minutes for your substitution code to appear on this page.

What is the Online-Self-Assessment (OSA)?

The OSA is intended to provide support in selecting an academic program. The objective is to give you a better idea of what to expect as a student at WU, and to compare your interests and expectations with the contents and demands of the program. This is a convenient way to determine if the program is the right choice for you.
 

When will I be notified about when I need to complete the online self-assessment test?

You will be notified by email whether you need to take the OSA or if you can enroll in your bachelor's program directly with no further requirements. If you do not receive the email, please write to aufnahmeverfahren@wu.ac.at.

Will the OSA for the Bachelor's Program BBE be graded?

The subject-specific part will be graded. It may be used as a criterion for awarding admission offers after the end of the selection procedure. This is the case when too many applicants achieve the same score and are tied in the entrance exam.

When will I be informed whether an entrance examination will take place?

You will be informed by email after the end of the OSA deadline whether an entrance examination will take place or whether you can be admitted directly to the program. If you do not receive an email from us, please write to bbe.selectionprocedure@wu.ac.at.
