The Master's degree course in Civil Engineering at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers a practice-oriented and forward-looking education for future experts in the construction industry. The program is designed to equip students with the skills necessary for management tasks in planning and implementing significant construction projects, integrating disciplines such as architecture and sustainable management.
Students study advanced topics in construction engineering, focusing on sustainable practices, project management, and innovative construction technologies. The program includes specialized courses in construction management and engineering design.
The course is spread over four semesters, culminating in a Master's thesis and practical projects, allowing for deep engagement with real-world challenges. Students also have opportunities for international exchange and internships.
Graduates will have developed technical expertise in civil engineering, alongside skills in project management and sustainable practices, preparing them for leadership roles in 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.
FH Kärnten spreads engineering, health, and business programs across Carinthian campuses in Villach, Klagenfurt, Feldkirchen, and Spittal, with several English-taught degrees.
