Legal information and accreditation status

The IUC - International Private University College Bad Vöslau is currently in the process of obtaining initial institutional accreditation by AQ Austria (Austrian Accreditation Authority) and in a project status.
Please note that a legally valid accreditation decision is required before any study programme can be started. This is expected in 2027.

Within the initial attempt for an institutional accreditation, the authority did not approve the university college as not all criteria were met. A second application for initial institutional accreditation is planned for fall 2025 with a decision expected in summer 2026 and a projected study start in October 2027.

Interested parties can already contact us, but all admission decisions are subject to a positive accreditation.

In the event of a delay in the accreditation decision, applicants are free to decide whether they wish to delay the start of their studies by one semester or have their tuition fees refunded. In the event of a negative decision, the entire tuition fee will be refunded.

The development company of the private university college is responsible for the project:
Privathochschule Bad Vöslau Entwicklungs GmbH,
Johann Strauß Straße 2, 2540 Bad Vöslau, Austria
