The Drone Engineering program focuses on the design, construction, and application of drones in various fields. Students learn both theoretical principles and practical skills relevant to drone technology. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on experience and aims to prepare graduates for careers in a rapidly evolving industry.
Students study the technical aspects of drone technology, including aviation safety and regulatory issues. They also explore applications in various fields such as transportation and data acquisition.
The program spans six semesters, combining lectures, practical training, and project work. Students will complete a thesis project during their final semester, focusing on real-world challenges in drone engineering.
Graduates gain competencies in drone design, programming, and operational management, equipping them for careers in emerging sectors. They will be adept at problem-solving and possess strong analytical skills.

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 Kufstein Tirol focuses on international business, facility and real-estate management, and digital economy programs, with a strongly international outlook.
