EU-Law Infringements in Austria: Constitutional Review Restricted

In 1997 the Constitutional Court had to decide on the complaint of a prospective student against a decision of the ‘academic senate’ (Universitätskollegium) of the Vienna University of Veterinary Medicine denying her admission to studies of veterinary medicine. The complainant, an Austrian citizen, earned a general university entrance qualification certificate in her former country of residence, Germany. With this certificate she applied for admission at the University of Veterinary Medicine but the rector denied her admission by virtue of her application’s failure to comply with the admissibility regulations. The Rector specified that in Germany the access to certain fields of study including veterinary medicine is subject to a centralised admission process, allocating a limited number of places. In order to fulfill the admission requirements to a German university, the applicant must hold a general university entrance certificate and have been allocated a ‘study place’ (Studienplatz). According to § 7 para 1lit b AHStG the admission requirements in the country of issue of the general university entrance qualification also constitute the basis for admission to comparable studies in Austria. As the candidate did not submit a university place allocation decision, she could not prove her special university entrance qualification. The prospective student appealed, but the ‘academic senate’ of the university confirmed the negative decision of the rector.
