Extension Curricula / Alternative Extensions

What is an EC?

(c) Universität Wien

In addition to compulsory and elective subjects, extension curricula (EC) must be completed as part of the bachelor's degree programmes in the social sciences. An EC is a predefined module of 15 or 30 ECTS. Almost all fields of study offer extension curricula. 

Instead of an EC with a maximum of 15 ECTS credits, you can also complete Alternative Extensions (AE).

Detailed information on extension curricula and an overview of all ECs offered at the University of Vienna can be found on the Teaching Affairs and Student Services website.

If you have any questions about the structure, registration and examinations in an extension curriculum, etc., please contact the StudiesServiceUnit that offers the EC.
