Access rules for Austrian universities are in breach of EU rules, the European Court of Justice decided on Thursday. (7 July).
Students having obtained their secondary education diploma in a member state other than Austria should be given access to Austrian universities on the same conditions as Austrian students, the court said.
The judges added that this right "constitutes the very essence of the principle of freedom of movement for students guaranteed by the EC Treaty".
