The master's degree program Architecture - Green Building has a clear focus on sustainable, future-oriented architectural concepts. It teaches students to think in circular processes and develop visionary solutions for the construction industry. The program aims to provide architects with the skills needed to contribute to a sustainable built environment.
Students study sustainable architectural practices, including lifecycle assessments and innovative building materials. They learn concepts related to urban planning, environmental impacts, and sustainable design principles. Additionally, the curriculum incorporates hands-on projects to ensure practical understanding of theoretical concepts.
The program is organized over four semesters with a mix of coursework, practical projects, and research. Students engage in internships and collaborative projects to apply their learning effectively. The curriculum includes lectures, workshops, and excursions to enhance hands-on learning experiences.
Graduates acquire comprehensive skills in sustainable design, project management, and innovative building technologies. They become adept at addressing real-world architectural challenges while promoting sustainability in their designs. The program fosters teamwork and collaborative problem-solving skills, preparing students for diverse roles in the architectural field.

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.
