Am I eligible for the UNIGIS professional program?
To be eligible for the “Geographical Information Systems (UNIGIS professional)” you need to
- hold a general university entry qualification for university / Higher education that is equivalent to the Austrian “Matura” certificate; e.g. High-School Diploma, A-level, Matriculation, Abitur. The equivalency will be checked by the program director.
- prove sufficient English language skills: language level B2 or higher according to the Common European Framework (CEF), or equivalent qualifications.
The Program Director decides on the admission to the study program considering available study places, the application documents and the orientation interview.
