The final phase
On this site you will find information about the final steps before you graduate from the Faculty and the graduation ceremonies in the Main Ceremonial Hall at the University of Vienna.
General information about graduation is also available on the Studienpräses website. If you have any questions, please check our list of topics or contact the appropriate office.
Bachelor's degree
To graduate, all courses and exams specified in the curriculum must be successfully completed and correctly assigned in your record of exams. If courses are not correctly assigned in your record of exams, please contact the StudiesServiceCenter Computer Science by email and specify which courses should be assigned to which entries in the record of exams.
You will find an explanation of the necessary steps to successfully submit your degree completion and receive your degree documents in u:space. As soon as your final grade has been calculated, you will be notified by email. Subsequently, a blue action message will appear in u:space with a link to the Degree Completion Form (this may take up to 2 business days), through which all further necessary information must be submitted.
As soon as your data has been successfully processed, you will receive all officially signed final records via email.
Please note:
- If you are completing the Bachelor’s programme in Computer Science (Version 2022) and wish to have a completed specialization listed on your degree certificate, please notify the StudiesServiceCenter.
- If your record of exams for the programme you are completing contains coursework that you do not wish to use toward the completion of this programme, please notify the StudiesServiceCenter so that this coursework can be transferred to the Interest Module (extracurricular coursework).
- If you are registered for courses or exams in the program you are completing that you have yet to complete, please notify the StudiesServiceCenter.
These can be assigned to another program for which you are already admitted, or transferred to the Interest Module so that they can be assigned to that program after you are admitted to another program (e.g., a Master’s programme).
Master's degree
The information on your Master’s thesis and final exam will provide details on the procedures for the final phase of your Master’s programme.
As soon as the official record of your successful Master’s exam is available, your graduation will be processed at the StudiesServiceCenter. Since all necessary documents will already be on file at that point, students do not need to submit anything further at this stage.
After receiving the appropriate notification by email (after a maximum of 1 month), the documents can be picked up at the StudiesServiceCenter.

- Bachelor’s: First subject listed on the student record sheet
