Please, also read the checklist, which provides you with important information on your stay (not related to your Learning Agreement).
For inquiries related to your Learning Agreement, see below.
Learning Agreement - Selection of courses
Information on the Learning Agreement and your choice of courses can be found in the document "Information for Erasmus Incoming Students".
Information on recommended courses is contained in the “Annex: Recommended Courses”.
For our part, it is sufficient if you present us your Learning Agreement after your arrival in Vienna. See in this respect: “Supplement for Learning Agreements ERASMUS Incomings”.
The Erasmus coordinators, responsible for academic matters, in particular related to the Learning Agreement, are:

University calendar
In the course catalogue you will find information about courses, including the number of teaching units, the language of instruction, the number of ECTS, etc. The course catalogue of the respective semester will be published a few weeks before the start of the semester (August/January).
If, for example, you need an overview of the Learning Agreement beforehand, please refer to the course catalogues of previous semesters as a guide. Please note, however, that not every course is offered every semester and that the course offerings are subject to change.
Here you will find the course catalogues of the following semesters:
Language requirements
For an ERASMUS semester or year at the Faculty of Law, language skills in English (B1) and/or German (B2) are required. No official proof of language proficiency is required, but your home university must confirm in your online nomination that you have the language level required by us at the start of your studies.
Please note any special regulations of your home university regarding language requirements and certificates.
If you only want to study in English, make sure that you can find enough suitable courses.
Participation in courses from other disciplines
Students who do not regularly study at the Faculty of Law are welcome to take courses. However, the respective registration requirements must be met and co-registration from other subjects must be discussed with the course instructor. It is not necessary to clarify with the Erasmus coordinator at the Juridicum.
Please note that a separate Learning Agreement must be drawn up for each field of study outside the nominated field of study, which must be signed by the respective departmental coordinator.
Course registration
The registration deadlines for law courses usually take place in September for the winter semester and in February for the summer semester. For some courses, the registration deadlines may differ. Please pay particular attention to the information in the course catalogue.
Depending on the course, registration for courses takes place via U:SPACE, by entering them in registration lists in the secretariat of the respective institute, by e-mail or in person in the preliminary meeting (=VB)/ first lesson. Please note the detailed information in the course catalogue.
Registration via U:SPACE
To choose a course, follow the registration link in the course catalogue (note, this will only be activated during the registration period!). You can find this in the respective detailed text of the courses in the course catalogue.
Successful registration for a course is indicated by the fact that you will find the status "registered" in U:SPACE shortly after the end of the registration phase.
If, for example, you find the status "reserved" during the registration phase, this can be ignored because your registration is still being processed. After successful admission to the course, the registration status automatically changes to "registered". It is therefore not necessary to contact your departmental coordinator.
In the case of courses with compulsory attendance, it is mandatory to appear in the first course unit. If you are absent without excuse, you will lose your place in the course.
If you have been put on the "waiting list", be sure to go to the first course unit, where you will be informed whether you will get a place in the course.
Further general information on course registration at the University of Vienna can be found under this link.
Course Deregistration
If you do not want to participate in the course, please deregister as soon as possible via U:SPACE, so that the place can possibly be assigned to someone else. Please note the deregistration deadlines in the course catalogue. If it is no longer possible to unsubscribe via U:SPACE, please send an e-mail to your course instructor.
Failure to deregister may result in an entry within the course with a negative grade in the transcript.
Transcript of records
In principle, all grades, including ECTS, will be published in U:SPACE within one month of the exam. You can use U:SPACE to obtain your transcript of records, including a digital signature, until at least the end of April (winter semester) or the end of April. Print it out yourself at the end of November (summer semester).
Further information on the subject of collective certificates can be found under this link.
