FH Joanneum·Automotive Engineering
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's programme in Automotive Engineering emphasizes advanced automotive technology, integrating emerging trends in sustainability and automation. Students learn through intensive projects and collaboration with industry experts, which enhances their understanding of complex automotive systems and their applications in real-world settings.
The programme covers advanced engineering concepts, focusing on vehicle dynamics, sustainability, and automation technologies. It aims to produce specialists in the automotive field who can lead projects and innovations.
Organized over four semesters, the course includes two semesters of coursework followed by an internship and a Master's thesis. The curriculum combines theoretical learning with practical applications.
Graduates develop expertise in automotive engineering methods, critical thinking, and leadership. They are prepared for technical and managerial roles within the industry.

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.
