The Automotive Mechatronics and Management master's program focuses on the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and informatics. It aims to provide students with essential skills in mechatronics along with business management competencies that are critical in the automotive industry. Graduates will be equipped to handle complex mechatronic systems and manage development projects. The curriculum incorporates extensive practical experience and is designed to prepare students for roles in vehicle system engineering and quality assurance.
The program covers topics such as mechatronics, electrical engineering, and management principles relevant to the automotive sector. It emphasizes hands-on projects and industry collaborations, allowing students to explore various applications of mechatronic technology.
The curriculum is structured over four semesters, including practical projects, internships, and a master's thesis. Students will work closely with industry partners to gain real-world experience.
Graduates of this program will possess advanced technical knowledge in mechatronics and management, enabling them to tackle complex engineering problems and lead projects effectively within the automotive 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 Upper Austria is one of Austria's strongest research FHs, with focused campuses in Hagenberg (IT), Wels (engineering), Steyr (management), and Linz (medical technology).
