External students admitted to individual teaching units from academic subjects shall pay tuition fees of €363.36 (plus Students Union contribution of €21.20), regardless of their citizenship, starting from the first semester.
Students Union Contribution
The Students Union contribution, including insurance, of €21.20 does not form part of tuition fees and must be paid by all students without exception for each semester.
Notifying Continuation
Upon payment of tuition and MedUni Vienna Students Union fees, continuation of studies is automatically notified to the Medical University of Vienna. In this case, additional notification of continuation is not necessary.
Payment Methods
Tuition and Students Union fees must be paid in full during the admission period. If this does not take place, no admission to or deregistration from studies is carried out. The data required for payment of contributions are provided to students in their MedCampus account. Tuition charges may also be paid directly in the Studies and Examinations Department using a bank card (Maestro card).
