Foundation Admissions

The Foundation Programs offer students the opportunity to improve their English and deepen their knowledge in basic subject areas that are required for undergraduate study.

It is possible to study a Foundation Program without continuing on to study an undergraduate degree at Modul University Vienna, however our Foundation programs are specifically designed to prepare students for our bachelor programs.  If you're a non-EU/EEA applicant and plan to study only a Foundation Program at MU, please be aware that online study is the eligible option for you.

If you wish to study a Bachelor program with MU Vienna, please apply for a Bachelor program as you may still be accepted on the condition of first completing our one-semester Foundation Program. In this case, you do not need to apply separately or again for the Foundation Program.

If you are unsure which requirements you meet, you can contact our friendly Student Recruitment team who will happily support you on your journey to become a student at MU.

If you are only applying for the Foundation Program and do not plan to continue with a Bachelor’s program at MU, you will need the following documents for enrollment: 

• Curriculum vitae (personal data sheet) 

• Letter of motivation (description of reasons for applying to Modul University Vienna) 

• High school certificate 

• High school transcripts of records 

• Copy of passport 

• Passport-sized photograph 

• Proof of English proficiency  

ACCEPTED LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS:

• TOEFL Internet-Based Test– 65 points. 

• IELTS – band score 5.5. We do not accept sub-scores below 5.0

• Cambridge Certificate – First Certificate in English (FCE) B2: Minimum grade C 

• Duolingo English Test – 125 points, no sub-scores under 110 points

If you wish to study a Bachelor’s program at MU, but are not directly eligible or prefer a preparatory semester, begin your application directly for your desired Bachelor’s program in the Application Portal. In this instance, you will have to follow the Bachelor Program requirements for enrollment. Our admissions team will discuss your options with you during the online interview and add the completion of the foundation program as a condition to your admission to one of our bachelor programs.
