FH Salzburg·Environmental Engineering
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The Bachelor's program in Forest Products Technology and Timber Construction focuses on sustainable and innovative uses of wood and timber as building materials. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, allowing students to engage in projects that contribute to environmental sustainability. Graduates will be equipped with the necessary competencies to work in various roles within the wood industry and construction sectors.
The program encompasses various aspects of wood as a resource, including material science, technology, and environmental impacts. Courses delve into chemistry, physics, and economics related to forest products.
The program is organized over six semesters, combining lectures, practical workshops, and project work. Students engage in hands-on experiences and complete an internship during their studies.
Graduates will acquire both theoretical and practical expertise in forest products technology, enabling them to manage projects within the forestry and construction industries effectively. They will also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

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 Salzburg offers engineering, design & media, health, and business programs from its Urstein and Kuchl campuses just south of Salzburg.
