Services and Support
Financial support
What extra financial support for incoming students with disabilities is offered?
You will need to apply for additional financial support from your home university. There is a special Erasmus programme inclusion fund for Erasmus+ mobilities. Unfortunately the mdw cannot offer any extra financial support.
Medical and Psychological support
Where to seek medical services?
Unfortunately, we do not have a doctor on campus to consult with students.
For more information on medical support for incoming students please visit the website of the international office: https://www.mdw.ac.at/programmemobilities/?PageId=4030
The mdw's Psychosocial Support Centre provides students with confidential counselling to assist their search for possible solutions to both studies-specific difficulties and situations of personal conflict.

What is the procedure to request a preparatory visit?
If you would like to organise a preparatory visit for a planned mobility at mdw, please contact the International Office by writing an email to [email protected].
If your home university participates in the Erasmus+ programme, you may be eligible for financial support to fund the preparatory visit. Please enquire with your home university about this possibility.
