There is a glossary in the bottom right corner, for example of terms like:

ISCED (2011): This is the general classification of the education system according to UNESCO and is short for International Standard Classification of Education. This scheme classifies the various education programmes of the Austrian education system into 8 levels.

The ISCED levels 3 to 5 also contain additional information on the specialisation of the respective educational entity. G denotes general education, while V refers to vocational education.

In Austria, it is customary for children up to the age of 6 to attend kindergarten, which according to the ISCED scheme is at level 0. From age 6 to 10, children attend primary or special school (ISCED level 1), with special school also continuing to, and including, ISCED level 2.

From age 10 to 14, students at ISCED level 2 can attend lower cycle academic secondary school, lower cycle new secondary school, or they can continue at special school.

From the age of 14 onwards, students can attend the upper cycle of an academic secondary school at level ISCED 3G (general); a college for higher vocational education at level ISCED 3V (vocational) or 5V (vocational); or a school for intermediate vocational education which lasts up to 4 years and is at level ISCED 3V (vocational). Vocational education for healthcare professions lasting up to 3 years (ISCED levels 3V and 4V, vocational) is also offered, usually from the age of 17 onwards. A graduate of PVS pre-vocational school (Polytechnische Schule) or special school (ISCED level 3G, general) can afterwards attend a part-time vocational school in connection with an apprenticeship of up to 4 years, which is tantamount to ISCED level 3V (vocational). From the age of 18 onwards and upon successful completion of an apprenticeship, the student can attend an industrial master college, building draftsperson and master draftsperson school (Werkmeisterschule) for the duration of 2 years (ISCED level 5V, vocational).

After successfully passing the school leaving examination (called the Reifeprüfung, or Matura) to graduate from an academic secondary school or a college for higher vocational education (BHS), a student is qualified for direct admission to university and other institutions of higher education.

Upon graduation from a school for intermediate vocational education, vocational education for healthcare professions, or a part-time vocational school, the student can take a university admissions equivalency test or a vocational school leaving exam in order to qualify for admission to university or other institution of higher education.

At ISCED level 5V (vocational), the student can attend a post-secondary VET course for the duration of 4 semesters and continuing education courses at tertiary educational institutions.

At university and higher education level, there are three kinds of educational institutions where someone who has passed the school leaving examination can take up studies from the age of 18 onwards.

1. The first one is university, where the student can enrol from the age of 18 onwards, after passing the school leaving examinations or a university admissions equivalency test. The student can enrol in a Master’s degree programme at ISCED level 7 (8 to 12 semesters), upon successful completion of which they will be awarded the academic title of Master or Graduate Engineer. Alternatively, the student can pursue a Bachelor’s degree at ISCED level 6 (6 to 8 semesters), upon successful completion of which they will be awarded the title of Bachelor of Arts. After the Bachelor’s degree, the student can study for a Master’s degree for a minimum of 4 semesters (ISCED level 7), upon successful completion of which they will be awarded the title of Master of Arts or Master of Science. A student can also continue to study for a Master’s degree upon successful completion of a degree programme.

2. Students can pursue a Bachelor’s degree from a university of applied sciences at ISCED level 6 (6 semesters), upon successful completion of which they will be awarded the academic title of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. After the Bachelor’s degree from a university of applied sciences, the student can study for a Master’s degree for 2 to 4 semesters (ISCED level 7), upon successful completion of which they will be awarded the title of Master of Arts or Master of Science.

3. The third option is to attend a college of teacher education. Here, the student can pursue a Bachelor’s degree at ISCED level 6 (8 semesters), upon successful completion of which they will be awarded the academic title of Bachelor of Education. After the Bachelor’s degree from a college of teacher education, the student can study for a Master’s degree for 2 to 4 semesters (ISCED level 7), upon successful completion of which they will be awarded the title of Master of Education.

Following any and all degrees at ISCED level 6, the student can also opt for a Master’s degree in a different sector, which might for example involve a switch from university of applied sciences to university.

Upon successful completion of a Bachelor’s degree or degree programme, the student can enrol in a postgraduate course or university course for at least 2 semesters, upon successful completion of which they will be awarded various titles such as Master of Education, Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration (all at ISCED level 7) etc.

The successful completion of a Master’s degree or a degree programme is the prerequisite to pursuing a PhD degree for the duration of at least 6 semesters at ISCED level 8, upon successful completion of which the student will be awarded the title of Doctor of Philosophy.
