Like most European countries, Austria has implemented the “Bologna system” which
means that nearly all Higher Education Institutions already have switched from the
four-year long programmes, which could immediately be followed by doctoral stud-
ies, to the three-cycle system of Bachelor, Master and Doctorate (or PhD).For a student, this Bologna system opens up various options as shown below.
THE AUSTRIANEDUCATION SYSTEM
Programmes offered at the University of Applied Sciences Krems are generally morevocationally oriented and are always conceived and developed in close cooperation
with the relevant industry, thus following the principle of employability.
University entrance qualification:
General/Technical secondary school leaving certificate
1st cycle: BACHELOR: BA, BSc, LL.B, 3 years
2nd cycle: MASTER: MA, MSc, LL.M, 2 years

strictly follow the study plan, including two
Bachelor dissertations and an oral Bachelor

ing methods are utilised, such as project-based learning, e-learning, traditional
