Information for graduates at academic celebrations

Dear graduate,

You will receive your diploma at a graduation ceremony in November at the Vienna Konzerthaus. Here you will find important information for your participation.


Arrival of the graduates

Please arrive at the concert hall 70 minutes before the start of your ceremony, leave your outer clothing at ‘Garderobe C’ and proceed via the main staircase to the main foyer to check in at the ground floor entrance to the Great Hall.

At the main staircase, the service staff will ask you for your graduate voucher, which you will receive about a week before the ceremony. After checking in, you will go directly to the hall. There, photos will be taken (see also ‘Photos & Videos’ below) and you will receive information about the course of the ceremony.

Tickets for your guests

You can book tickets with seats for your personal guests free of charge and print them out as "print-at-home tickets". You will receive booking information by e-mail. Children also need their own seat.

Please keep in mind that each ticket can only be scanned 1x at the entrance and therefore it is best to give the tickets individually and personally, or keep them carefully until the party. Please ask your guests to follow the audience information for participation.

If your guests include people in wheelchairs, or if you need more than the 20 tickets provided, please contact klaus.dietl@meduniwien.ac.at.

As a graduate, you will be seated in a separate area with your colleagues and do NOT need a ticket.

Private celebrations

After your celebration (the celebration itself lasts about 75 minutes), you are welcome to toast with your guests in one of the foyers at the Konzerthaus and/or celebrate extensively in the "EssDur" restaurant.If you are interested, the EssDur team at the Konzerthaus (01/512 5550, www.essdur.wien, restaurant@essdur.wien) will be happy to hear from you.Standing receptions in the foyers are limited in time (approx. 30 to 45 minutes) for organizational reasons.

Photo & Video

During the Academic Ceremony, film and photo recordings will be made of you, which can be published on MedUni Vienna communication channels and/or the portal of our photo partner (Zolles photo agency). In addition, our photo partner will take a souvenir photo in studio quality shortly before the celebration. The photos are available 2-3 days after the event via an internet portal (www.meduniwien.ac.at/sponsionsfotos). All pictures can be viewed in a photo album and, if you are interested, you can order them directly from our photo partner Bildagentur Zolles as a photo print in various sizes or file. The celebration will also be filmed - you will receive the link to the film about a week after the celebration. The corresponding privacy policy can be found here: www.meduniwien.ac.at/datenschutz/bildaufnahmen.
