Der Masterstudiengang in Stadtforschung vertieft das Wissen über urbane Gesellschaften und deren Strukturen. Das Programm fördert die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit städtischen Fragestellungen durch theoretische und praktische Elemente. Es beinhaltet auch ein verpflichtendes Praktikum.
In diesem Studiengang fokussieren sich Studierende auf komplexe städtische Phänomene und deren soziale Implikationen. Themen wie Urbanisierung und Stadtpolitik stehen im Vordergrund.
Das Programm ist auf vier Semester angelegt, in denen sowohl die Vertiefung der theoretischen Kenntnisse als auch praktische Forschungserfahrungen im Rahmen von Projekten und Praktika stattfinden.
Graduierte erwerben umfassende Kompetenzen in der Stadtforschung und sind speziell auf leitende Positionen in Forschung und Verwaltung vorbereitet.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
