The Master's program in Electrical Engineering focuses on modern technologies that shape the future of electrical energy supply. Students learn about DC grids, power electronics, and the introduction of SMART technology into power supply systems. Emphasizing practical training, the program prepares graduates for careers in an increasingly eco-conscious industry, addressing the need for sustainable energy solutions.
This program covers areas like power systems, control strategies, and emerging technologies in electrical engineering. Students learn through hands-on projects and collaboration.
The program consists of four semesters of coursework and a final thesis project, with an emphasis on practical experience.
Graduates gain expertise in electrical system design, project management, and product development, qualifying them for roles in various engineering sectors.

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).
