Once we have accepted your online nomination in MOBIS, you will receive more detailed information, such as your username, a link to set a password to access MOBIS. Please upload and submit your application within the given deadline.

Once your application has been proceeded and approved, the AAU’s Admission Office will send you the Letter of Acceptance (“Bescheid”) to the e-mail address indicated in MOBIS.

The winter semester officially starts on October 1st and ends on January 31st.
The summer semester officially starts on March 1st and ends on June 30th.
Please note that some exams might be scheduled after the official end of the semester (depending on the courses you choose).

List of Courses
The Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt offers a wide range of degree programmes.
Several lectures in various fields of studies are taught in English.
List of all lectures taught in English
Courses offered by the Department of English and American Studies are not open for students who want to work on a basic level of English. The Department requires a minimum level of B1/B2 (European Framework) for regular courses taught in English.

Attending the German Language Course is not compulsory for incoming exchange students. German language courses are considered as an extra-curricular programme and therefore are not free of charge.
