Studying at 55+
The University of Salzburg offers the UNI 55 PLUS Program, in which people over 55 years old can study. Even if they don’t have a graduation degree. After the program, there is therefore no academic degree. You can decide for yourself how many courses you will attend per semester. You also do not have to complete the study with an examination.
YOU HAVE AN ACADEMIC TITLE FROM YOUR COUNTRY. WHERE CAN YOU HAVE IT RECOGNISED?
If foreign degrees have been completed, they can be recognised in Austria. Thus, they are equated with Austrian studies. The Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy is responsible for this. There is an online application system at www.aais.at
