Bachelor’s degree in Psychology: tuition fees and grants

Tuition Fee

Breakdown of the tuition fee and how it is worked out

Sigmund Freud Privatuniversität Wien’s Board of Directors sets the annual tuition fee for all degree courses at the beginning of the academic year. The annual fee is a combination of a basic rate and income-related payment. (1)

The annual tuition fee for the Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology consists of a basic rate and an additional payment that varies from student to student.

The basic annual rate for the Bachelor’s degree beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year and finishing in the 2027-2028 academic year is € 6.500.

The income-related payment ranges from no additional payment to a maximum of € 7.400 and is worked out as follows:

• Income of up to € 25.000: no additional payment
• Income from € 25.001 to € 40.000: € 1.000
• Income from € 40.001 to € 70.000: € 2.600
• Income from € 70.001 to € 100.000: € 5.000
• Income of over € 100.000: € 7.400

Consequently, the annual fee for the Bachelor’s degree varies from € 6.500 to € 13.900.

Students will be placed into a given category based on the ISEE (Indicator of Equivalent Financial Situation) they present when they enrol. Every year the ISEE certificate must be presented again. Students failing to present a certificate will be charged € 7.400.

The annual tuition fee includes travel and subsistence expenses for the period of study in Vienna, on the dates set on the academic timetable.
