The Bachelor program in Wood Technology & Timber Construction at FH Salzburg focuses on sustainable materials and practices in the wood industry. Students gain practical engineering skills alongside business and planning competencies. The curriculum covers a range of subjects, including natural sciences, business management, and specialized wood-related topics, preparing graduates for various careers in timber engineering.
The coursework covers topics such as the use and properties of wood, construction techniques, and renewable resources management. Subjects include natural sciences, architecture, and economics, with an emphasis on practical skills through projects and internships.
The program is structured in six semesters, combining foundational courses in the first semesters with specialized subjects in later stages. It includes project work and internships to provide hands-on experience.
Graduates develop a deep understanding of wood as a material and gain practical skills necessary for a career in sustainability and construction. They also enhance their social and language competencies through international exposure.

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.
