• Bachelor and Diploma Programmes https://studieren.univie.ac.at/studienangebot/bachelor-und-diplomstudien/

  The official catalogue lists separate bachelor and diploma programmes, indicating that the main Studium is chosen before admission rather than selected later as a major after a shared core.

• Admission to Bachelor and Diploma Programmes https://studieren.univie.ac.at/zulassung/bachelor-diplomstudien/

  The admissions page asks applicants to choose the desired Studium from a list for the admission process. This confirms programme-based admission rather than free in-study choice of the main field.

• Extension Curricula and Alternative Extensions https://studieren.univie.ac.at/studienangebot/erweiterungscurricula-und-alternative-erweiterungen/

  The university explains Erweiterungscurricula as module groups of up to 30 ECTS that sit alongside the compulsory and elective subjects of the student's own Studium. Without verified later major choice, this is counted as a minor-like route and broad course choice.

• Political Science Extension Curricula https://politikwissenschaft.univie.ac.at/studium/bachelorstudium/studienverlauf/erweiterungscurricula/

  The Political Science page shows 30 ECTS in EC, a choice of two 15 ECTS ECs, or a combination of EC with Alternative Erweiterung made up from freely assembled courses. This confirms an additional block inside a fixed programme, not main-major choice.

• Extension Curricula, Oriental Studies https://orientalistik.univie.ac.at/en/studying/curricula/extension-curricula-ec/

  The faculty page shows that EC are part of bachelor programmes beyond regular compulsory and elective subjects, and that 15 ECTS Alternative Extensions can be freely arranged from courses.

• Curricular Commission guidance https://senat.univie.ac.at/curricularkommission/spezielles-zu-erweiterungscurricula/

  The Curricular Commission guidance defines EC as modularised mini-curricula and says students may freely choose EC except those overlapping with their own Studium. This strongly supports the minor level, but not the major level.

• Study Change https://studieren.univie.ac.at/zulassung/studienwechsel/

  The Studienwechsel page describes changing the Studium as a separate admission-related process with possible funding effects and recognition of prior coursework. This limits the interpretation: changing the main field does not appear to be a normal in-program major choice.

• University of Vienna Intellectual Capital Statement Indicators 2024 https://www.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/univie/dokumente/ueberuns/leistungsbericht/Wissensbilanz_Kennzahlen_2024.pdf

  The official 2024 intellectual capital indicators report 49,215 occupied ordinary studies in Bachelorstudium and 8,033 in Diplomstudium for Wintersemester 2024/25 in indicator 2.A.7. UndergraduateEnrollment total is stored as Bachelorstudium plus Diplomstudium, 57,248.

  This is a programme-enrolment count rather than unique student headcount, because the report separately states an average of 1.13 occupied studies per head. Bachelor stores only Bachelorstudium, excluding Diplomstudium. The specialist degree level does not apply to the Austrian model.
