Most students here are on continuing-education courses, which the degree-study and graduation figures below do not cover.
By citizenship, in the ministry's three groups: Austria, other EU countries, and all other countries. The source does not say where citizens of Switzerland and the non-EU EEA countries are counted. This is not a count of international or exchange students: citizenship says nothing about where someone lived or went to school. Nor is it the fee split, which follows its own rules.

Degree studies, WS 2025/26
44 degree studies, 7 of them begun this semester — a different count from the 6,440 students above.
A study is one enrolment in one degree programme, not a person. Someone enrolled in two programmes counts twice, while a programme run jointly with another institution — including teacher-training subjects shared with teacher-education colleges — is divided between the partners by an agreed key. So a university can have more studies than students or fewer, and the two counts should not be compared or added. Only degree studies (bachelor's, diploma, master's, doctorate) are counted; continuing-education university courses are not. “Begun” means studies in their first semester — a student who switches programme or adds a second one begins a study without being new to the university.
| Degree type | Studies | Share | Begun |

| Doctorate | 44 | 100.0% | 7 |
Studies by the student's citizenship: Austria 14 · Other EU countries 14 · Non-EU countries 16. Figures are rounded, so parts may differ from the total by one or two.
