Target for application:
Assessment of Higher Education qualifications for professional purposes
Evaluation of foreign diplomas (incoming mobility): recommendations on the value of higher education diplomas obtained outside Austria, especially for further use at the Austrian labour market. Where possible, the foreign diploma is compared to an Austrian diploma. As well as evaluating the diploma, we are also able to determine whether a higher education institution is officially recognized.
With entry into force of the Recognition and Assessment Act, Federal Law Gazette I No. 55/2016, ENIC NARIC AUSTRIA only assesses foreign higher education qualifications for professional purposes (ie for persons with access to the Austrian labour market or the intention to work in Austria).

.
Assessment applications are processed either by way of a quick assessment or an assessment:
The
quick assessment
is a facilitated assessment in accordance with § 6 para. 2 of the Recognition and Assessment Act, Federal Law Gazette I No. 55/2016. It provides an evaluation of the assessed foreign higher education qualification at a glance and is free of charge.
Beyond the information provided in the quick assessment, the
assessment
includes additional information needed for the evaluation of certain foreign higher education qualifications.
The decision whether to process the application by way of a quick assessment or assessment is up to of ENIC NARIC AUSTRIA. There is no choice for applicants. For more information on application and fees see

The possibility to apply for an assessment requires the confirmation of the legal stay / settlement in Austria or an EU-member state by proof of an Austrian residence “Meldebestätigung” ie print-out from the Central Residence Register (ZMR) of the municipality or an equivalent from an EU-memberstate. Otherwise the application is rejected.
The assessment of foreign Higher Education qualifications does not comprise information on the use of foreign academic degrees in Austria. The use of foreign academic degrees is laid down by § 88 in conjunction with § 116 of Universities Act 2002 – UG, Federal Law Gazette I No. 120/2002.
