The Medical and Bioinformatics program merges computer science with healthcare, focusing on the application of data analysis and IT solutions in medicine. Students learn to manage and analyze medical data to improve patient care and medical research.
Topics include bioinformatics, medical data processing, and technologies in healthcare. The program supports interdisciplinary collaboration among tech and health sectors.
Spread across six semesters, students engage in projects and conclude with a Bachelor's thesis, applying their skills in practical healthcare settings.
Graduates become proficient in bioinformatics applications, skilled in data analysis and its medical relevance, prepared for roles in the evolving health technology landscape.

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 Upper Austria is one of Austria's strongest research FHs, with focused campuses in Hagenberg (IT), Wels (engineering), Steyr (management), and Linz (medical technology).
