The university library, language courses and sports facilities (USI) can also be used. Please apply here.

People who have graduated from school in Ukraine and want to start a degree course generally have to attend the pre-study course. Once you have applied to study, you will receive a notification allowing you to register for the pre-study course. The university will specify which examinations you must take during the pre-study course (e.g. German, mathematics). If you would like to start a German-language degree course but do not yet have C1 German language skills when you apply, you must take the supplementary examination for German on the pre-study course. You need to have passed this exam in order to be allowed to start a degree course at the University of Graz. You have four semesters to do this.

The pre-study course costs approx. EUR 530 per semester.
