FH Upper Austria·Food Technology and Nutrition
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master of Science in Engineering program focuses on advancing knowledge in food technology and nutrition. Students will develop skills in product development, quality assurance, and production processes within the food industry. The program also emphasizes research and development of new food technologies, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for various roles in the field.
Students study various topics including interactive technologies, game development principles, and current trends in online media. The program integrates practical applications with theoretical frameworks to develop a comprehensive understanding of the media landscape.
The program is organized into four semesters, combining coursework with project elements. It includes opportunities for semesters abroad and hands-on experience in project development.
Graduates develop competencies in designing and implementing innovative media projects, coupled with strong analytical and communication skills. This profile equips them for diverse roles within the digital 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).
