Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course focuses on the fundamentals of Austrian private foundation law. The participants will be given an overview of the legal nature, the establishment and the motives for the establishment of a private foundation. Furthermore, the legal status of the founder and the beneficiaries will be discussed.

After completing this course, students will have a basic knowledge of Austrian private foundation law and will be able to independently solve simple legal questions in this context.

Assessment and permitted materials

The assessment is based on the participation (max. 10% = 4 points), as well as two exams in German (45% each = 18 points each, duration of each exam: 45min) at the end of the course, whereby both exams are held as online exams.
At the end of each unit there will be a voluntary participation test, which contains three questions about the content of the respective unit. If two or more answers are answered correctly, the test is completed positively. A positive participation test corresponds to one participation point, whereby a maximum of four participation points can be achieved during the course!
If 21 points are reached, the course is completed positively.

Copying from the Internet or from textbooks in the case of online open-book examinations and the use of an annotated law text or labeled post-its in the case of presence examinations is considered unauthorized (information about the use of unauthorized aids can also be found at https://privatrecht.univie.ac.at/service-news/schummeln/).
