Admission restrictions at universities mean that the number of students per year and field of study is limited. In other words: not everyone can start the chosen degree programme in the desired year despite having a general university entrance qualification.

Yes, there are also admission restrictions at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences Vienna. This applies to the Bachelor programmes Landscape Planning and Landscape Architecture, Food-Sciences and Biotechnology and Environmental and Bioresource Management.

For the study programme Landscape Planning and Landscape Architecture there is currently no admission restriction in place, as the number of students per semester has always been below the number of the restriction. You can therefore enrol for this degree programme "normally" and not notice that it is theoretically limited.

An admission restriction was introduced for the Food-Sciences and Biotechnology programme in 2016. The admission restriction is suspended for the academic year 2022/23, so you can also enrol here "normally". When the admission procedure was introduced in 2016, the programme was limited to 400 beginners per academic year; this number was reduced to 320 beginners per academic year in 2019. The admission procedure is structured in several stages. The first stages of the admission procedure (registration, payment of the fee - 50€, online self-assessment) have to be passed by the beginners - then BOKU decides whether an additional admission test will take place.

For the Bachelor programme Environmental and Bioresource Management, an admission procedure was introduced in 2019. The admission restriction is suspended for the academic year 2022/23, so you can also enrol here "normally". In the run-up to the winter semester 2019, the admission procedure including the admission test took place. The first phases of the admission procedure (registration, payment of the fee - 50€, online self-assessment) have to be passed by the prospective students - then BOKU decides whether an additional admission test will take place. The entrance test for UBRM, which was conducted 2019, was also the first time at BOKU that an entrance test was held.
