The Bachelor's program in Slavonic Studies includes the study of Slavic languages, cultures, and literatures. Students engage with historical and contemporary issues within Slavic societies and develop language skills, enabling diverse career opportunities in education, translation, and cultural exchange.
In the Slavic Studies degree programme, you will learn one or more Slavic languages and acquire foundational knowledge of Slavic linguistics, literature, and cultural studies. Courses include the history of Slavic languages and analysis of literary texts and films, focusing on both the language structure and cultural context.
The program is organized over six semesters and includes practical courses, theoretical lectures, and a bachelor’s thesis. The first semester involves a Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP) to help students assess their subjects and achieve core competencies.
Graduates will possess a strong understanding of Slavic languages as well as critical thinking and problem-solving skills in linguistic, literary, and cultural contexts. They will be equipped to engage in interdisciplinary studies and articulate findings effectively.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
