This master's degree program specializes in IT security, focusing on the interplay of telecommunications, mobile communications, and data networks. Students are trained on systems to prevent unauthorized access, analyze vulnerabilities, and learn secure software engineering through practical training and interdisciplinary projects. Graduates will be equipped for job roles specializing in system security within various industries.
Das Studium umfasst Themen wie Cyber Security, Kryptographie, Netzwerksicherheit und praktische Fähigkeiten in der Analyse von Sicherheitsarchitekturen. Sie beschäftigen sich auch mit der Entwicklung sicherer Software und der Durchführung von Sicherheitsprojekten.
Die Struktur des Studiums umfasst vier Semester, in denen Theorie und Praxis eng miteinander verbunden sind. Jedes Semester besteht aus Pflichtmodulen und Wahlfächern, die es den Studierenden ermöglichen, ihren Schwerpunkt zu setzen. Ein wichtiges Element ist die Masterarbeit, die im letzten Semester durchgeführt wird.
Die Graduierenden erwerben fundierte technische Kenntnisse in den Bereichen IT-Security, Netzwerksicherheit und sichere Softwareentwicklung. Zusätzlich entwickeln sie Fähigkeiten in der Teamarbeit, Problemanalyse und dem Umgang mit aktuellen Technologien und Sicherheitsherausforderungen.

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.
FH Campus Wien is Austria's largest university of applied sciences, spanning engineering, health sciences, public administration, and social work in Vienna.
