The formal requirement for admission to the Master Psychology programme at the Faculty of Psychology in Vienna is a proof of university entrance qualification such as:

• a Psychology Bachelor Programme degree earned at the SFU Faculty of Psychology or
• a related and equivalent Austrian or international Bachelor degree in Psychology earned at a post-secondary educational institution or
• a Bachelor’s degree from another recognised domestic or foreign post-secondary educational institution with a social science, cultural studies, humanities or economics orientation. In order to be admitted to the Master’s degree programme in Psychology, however, the faculty management may impose conditions in which the completion of additional subject-relevant courses from the Bachelor’s degree programme in Psychology is required. In terms of professional law, however, completing the Master’s degree programme in Psychology without completing a relevant Bachelor’s degree programme in Psychology does not entitle the holder to use the title of psychologist.
