The Master's program in Exhibition Design is aimed at fostering critical and creative thinking in the context of designing cultural and commercial exhibitions. Students engage in hands-on projects, collaborating with professionals to enhance their practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Graduates will be equipped to pursue careers in the design industry or further academic research, focusing on innovative approaches to exhibition spaces.
Curriculum covers design theory, user interaction, and practical aspects of exhibition design. Students learn to create compelling experiences that convey narratives effectively.
The program consists of lectures, hands-on workshops, and a significant thesis project where students apply their learning in real-world contexts.
Graduates gain expertise in spatial design and user engagement, positioning them for roles in museums, galleries, and cultural institutions.

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.
