For some competitive study programs, students are ranked based on their grade point average from previous studies. Therefore, always check with your host university about the minimum passing grade you need to meet.
If you are an EU student, you can easily convert your grade point to the Austrian system by using the European Grade Converter. If you are not an EU student, you can use the European grades comparison chart to learn how you would score in Europe.
