The so-called “Berufsmatura” (vocational diploma) is an educational policy innovation in Austria which enables apprentices completing vocational education and training to also acquire a general higher education qualification. This article describes the objective, structure and organisation of the programme, which has been in existence since 2008, and investigates the degree of acceptance on the part of apprentices and companies.
