FH Upper Austria·Media Technology and Design
Bachelor of Science in Engineering
The program focuses on integrating artificial intelligence in media production, including areas like game development, web development, UX design, and audiovisual production. Students receive hands-on training in modern studios, learning to create and optimize digital content using cutting-edge tools. Graduates are equipped to enter dynamic careers in creative media, gaining both technical and creative skills essential for the digital age.
Students explore the fundamentals of media production and design, with an emphasis on applying generative AI. Topics include web development, game design, and user experience strategies.
The program is structured across six semesters, involving both theoretical courses and practical projects. The last semester includes an internship, enabling real-world experience, with opportunities for studying abroad.
Graduates develop a comprehensive skill set that combines technical expertise in media technology with creative design capabilities. They are prepared to work in interdisciplinary teams, leading projects in various media production fields.

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).
