University of Applied Arts Vienna·Digital Media
Master of Science (MSc)
The MSc in Digital Media focuses on the intersection of technology and creativity, providing students with the skills needed to thrive in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. It offers both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in multimedia design and production.
Students engage in advanced learning about multimedia content, including design principles and technological tools used in digital media. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and ethical consideration in media production.
The program consists of four semesters with a mix of theory and practical application, including a master's thesis project that focuses on an area of interest within digital media.
Graduates develop advanced competencies in digital content creation, project management, and critical analysis, preparing them for roles in various media industries.

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.
'Die Angewandte' is Vienna's university for art, design, and architecture, known for small studio-based classes and an entrance-portfolio admission model.
