Start of the Central Matura 2026 and 2027 on May 5

This has been stipulated by Education Minister Martin Polaschek (ÖVP) by regulation. In 2026, Latin (6th), English (7th), and French (8th) will follow, before things get serious with Mathematics on May 11th. Subsequently, only "smaller" subjects like Slovenian, Croatian, and Hungarian as well as Spanish (May 12th), Italian (13th), and Greek (15th) are on the program.

Central School-Leaving Exams Extended in 2027 Due to Holidays

Due to holidays, the central school-leaving exams will be significantly longer in 2027: After German, Italian follows on May 7th, with the Math exams scheduled for May 10th. The day after, English will be tested, on May 12th Latin, on the 13th French, and on the 14th the minority languages Slovenian, Croatian, and Hungarian as well as Spanish. There will then be a Pentecost-related break until May 21st, before concluding with Greek. The compensatory exams, where negative grades can be improved, are scheduled for June 2nd and 3rd in 2026 and June 1st and 2nd in 2027.

A small change has also been ordered for this year's central school-leaving exams. The Slovenian exam will not take place on May 13th together with the other two minority languages and Spanish, but already on May 12th together with the French exam. The same adjustment applies to the autumn and winter sessions.
