Great frustration among students at the Vienna University of Economics and Business: although they are motivated, they are slowed down because they can't get into courses. Many have to add a few semesters on as a result. The rector explains the background to the problems at his university to the "Krone" newspaper.

If students add on a few semesters, they are said to be lazy. At the Vienna University of Economics and Business, however, there are other reasons for this. Students don't get into the seminars here.
