Entrance exams are offered at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences during the first and second weeks of July and September, respectively.

Students who enroll in the first or second semester despite having prior knowledge are invited to work alongside the course instructors as coaches for students without prior technical knowledge. Upon request, the course can be credited or graded as “successfully completed.”

Students can begin the second semester after completing basic military service, and individual courses may be credited toward all bachelor’s degree programs in the “Engineering & IT” faculty.

CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers graduates of relevant technical HTLs throughout Austria the opportunity to enter any bachelor’s degree program at the “Engineering & IT” Faculty in the summer semester or to have individual courses recognized for credit. This is possible, for example, after completing basic military service.
