Austria Open for autumn 2026 entry — Excellence Scholarship applications assessed alongside admission, with earlier rounds offering the strongest awards

MODUL University Vienna Excellence Scholarship

MODUL University Vienna is a private, English-taught Austrian university specialising in tourism and hospitality management, business, international management, and public governance. It offers tiered Excellence Scholarships to outstanding international undergraduates — ranging from a 25% tuition reduction up to, in exceptional cases, a full 100% waiver — making it one of the more genuinely accessible private-university awards in Austria for high-achieving Sri Lankan students. Because all teaching is in English, applicants from an English-medium schooling background avoid the German-language barrier of Austria's public universities. The award level depends on your academic record, so strong A-Level / equivalent results matter directly. Even with a partial award the private tuition is significant, so plan your funding realistically; we help you model the LKR net cost first.

The scholarship percentage is determined by your academic record and application strength. Top-tier results can unlock the largest reductions, so the strongest A-Level / IB profiles benefit most. Applying in an earlier admission round can improve award levels.

Honest Cost Note

MODUL is a private, fee-charging university. A 100% waiver is exceptional — most awards are partial. Even with a strong scholarship, budget realistically for any remaining tuition plus Vienna living costs. We help you model the real LKR figure before you commit.

English Proficiency

All teaching is in English; you'll need IELTS 6.5+ or equivalent. Sri Lankan applicants from an English-medium schooling background usually qualify via MOI waiver where MODUL accepts it.
