The sub-commission of the Senate decides on all new curricula to be introduced at the University of Vienna. These are Bachelor, Master and PhD studies as well as university courses and extension curricula. The approval of changes in already existing curricula is also within the scope of the Curriculum Commission. The decisions of the Curriculum Commission must be approved by the Senate and are then published in the University of Vienna's bulletins.
The composition of the commission is a 4:2:2 split. This means that four professors, two mid-level faculty members and two students make up the commission.
