Who can apply

• You need a u:account with the University of Vienna before you can apply, and non-EU/EEA citizens face a University of Vienna tuition charge of EUR 726.72 per semester unless they obtain EU/EEA equal status with a researcher residence permit; PhD students have tuition reimbursed either way, and neither is a fee to apply. EU/EEA citizens pay only the students union fee of EUR 24.70 per semester for the first eight semesters. You apply to the programme rather than to a single lab, and selection runs in three stages: a written application, online panel interviews, then research group interviews where you meet potential supervisors.
