To graduate, you will need to complete all 3 parts of the teacher education programme (both UFs + Lehrerinnenbildung).

A) Complete all required courses

• M01-09, M11: 93 ECTS + BEd paper 4 ECTS
• M10: 0-10 ECTS

Please note that if you have completed more that 10 ECTS for the Electives (Wahlbereich), the additional points/courses have to be moved to your Module of Interest (Interessensmodul) and will not be counted towards your degree. For this please contact the SSS Anglistik so that the grades can be moved before you apply for the issuing of the degree certificate. 

B) Once you have completed all required courses (M01-11), follow the steps below:

   • Digital graduation documents: Your documents will be sent via email and include an official digital signature
4. If you need a hard copy of your graduation documents, please contact the SSC, responsible for the issuing of your degree certificate directly

Note: The SSS/ SSC of your UF 1 is responsible for collecting all required documents and issuing your BEd certificate. However, to set the process in motion, you have to hand in an application for every part of your BEd studies: one at the SSS/ SSC of your UF 1, one at the SSS/ SSC of your UF 2, and one at the Zentrum für LehrerInnenbildung.

C) Starting your MEd

You can enrol only once you have graduated (cf. MA admission with a BA from the University of Vienna).

If you are planning to register for courses from the MEd programme, please keep in mind that the process of issuing your Degree certificate can take up to 4 weeks. If you are not enrolled in the MEd by the end of the registration period, you cannot register for any courses.

In this case, please turn to the SSS office during late registration (Restplatzbörse).
