Mobile status: If country of prior education is unknown for a student enroled in a tertiary level programme, for an entrant to a tertiary programme or for a tertiary level graduate (mostly the case with ISCED level 5 programmes), the relevant information is derived instead from a longitudinal database: Students/entrants/graduates who were enroled before in Austria on the upper secondary level are not considered mobile. |

Students enrolled in universities, Fachhochschulen, university colleges of teacher education, university courses and private universities were for the first time pro-rated according to the number of programmes they had taken. Explanation: In 2007/08, only in Austrian universities students are on average enrolled in about 1.4 programmes. In the years before the following estimation was done: the numbers of enrollments in ISCED 6 programmes and (to a minor part) ISCED 5B programmes were taken as numbers of students and substracted from the known total of persons pursuing regular university programmes, referring to this figure as ISCED 5A students in universities. |
