The Vienna groups for 2027-2028 are not open yet

There is no verified Vienna group for the 2027-2028 academic year yet. Each cycle's groups usually open between May and July of the preceding year, once places are confirmed. We only publish a group once its invite link genuinely works, so this page will update as soon as a Vienna group is confirmed.

In the meantime, here is what we do know about Vienna:

(The city)

Erasmus in Vienna: what to know first

An imperial city with historic coffeehouses, opera and world-renowned quality of life.

The Vienna groups for the 2027-2028 academic year are not run by any institution: they are opened by students arriving that same year, usually between the spring and summer before. They fill in waves — first the people with a confirmed place, then the ones locking down housing — which is why a group created too early often stalls half empty.

You do not need to join all of them. Start with the one that solves your most urgent problem in Vienna, and add the rest once you have an arrival date.

In Vienna the general group is usually the best way in: it is where everything else gets arranged.

Before you join a Vienna group

Erasmus groups are also hunting ground for rental scams, especially in Vienna when demand spikes. Three rules head off almost every problem:

  1. 01Never pay a deposit or a holding fee for a room you have not seen, contract or no contract: it is the most common scam and the most expensive.
  2. 02Be wary of anyone who pulls you out of the group into a private chat to close the deal fast and under pressure.
  3. 03A price far below the city reference is almost never a bargain; it is the bait.
