Voluntary Change from Curriculum Version 17W to 23W of the Bachelor's Program Economics

• More individual specializations/elective options (also for Business Administration subjects)
• Increased lecturer contact through three-hour courses in core subjects.

A detailed description of the study program according to the new curriculum can be found in the Study Folder for the Bachelor's Program according to Curriculum 23W.

If you have questions about the curriculum, please contact the Student Representatives VWL.

• A voluntary change to Curriculum 23W must be applied for in the Academic Affairs Office during the general admission period (Winter Semester 2023/24: July 10 to September 5, 2023; Summer Semester 2024: January 8 to February 5, 2024). To do so, write an e-mail with the subject “Change Curriculum” to studienabteilung(at)uni-graz.at.
• Before applying for a voluntary change to curriculum version 23W in the Academic Affairs Office, all examinations must have been validly set in UNIGRAZonline.
• A large part of the examinations taken according to curriculum version 17W can be automatically transferred to curriculum version 23W. A complete overview of all examinations that can be recognized can be found in the Equivalence List (Appendix III of Curriculum 23W).
• After the change, please check in your Curriculum Support (“My Degree Programme”) in UNIGRAZonline whether all positive achievements are assigned to the correct modules. The correct allocation is a prerequisite for the modules and courses to be displayed as “passed” and to be taken into account in the requirement check during the course registration. Curriculum Support instructions can be found here.
• Courses and examinations taken as part of another study program must be recognized for the Bachelor’s Program Economics. Please refer to the information on the Recognition of Examinations.
• For some examinations, automatic transfer is not possible, partly due to changes in the allocation of ECTS. In such cases, the transfer must be applied for specifically at the Dean’s Office. Please use the Transfer Form. All potentially affected courses are listed on the form. You only need to make the appropriate selection there. The entry in UNIGRAZonline will then be carried out by the Dean’s Office.
• Orientation Phase (STEOP): Students who have passed all examinations of the STEOP according to curriculum version 17W automatically take the confirmation for the completion of the STEOP with them when transferring to curriculum version 23W. In this respect, there are no restrictions to worry about when changing to the new curriculum!

Transfer form

Please fill in the form electronically (only complete fields highlighted in white) and submit it only in a digitally editable form (as a .pdf file). Scanned or photographed forms will not be processed further!

Please send the transfer form, after the transfer has been carried out in the Academic Affairs Office and the mandatory tuition fee has been paid, by email to Ms. Eva Kleemair.

Subject: Change Bachelor’s Program Economics

The transfer forms will be processed in the order in which they are received. Since it is not possible for us to reliably estimate how many students actually want to change to the new curriculum, we ask for your understanding that the processing may take some time. In the meantime, please refrain from making any urgent requests. These would at best cause a further delay and would certainly not increase the processing time. When completed, you will receive notification to your student email address.

Additional note for a change: Of course, we will make every effort to process all transfer forms received before the end of the registration period. In order to ensure this, the transfer form must be submitted to the Dean’s Office by September 5 for the Winter Term and Ferbruary 5 for the Summer Term at the latest.
