The Applied Image and Signal Processing master program focuses on developing AI-enhanced algorithms and methodologies. Participants will learn to design data-driven solutions in various application fields, leveraging the growing amount of data from networked devices. The curriculum balances theoretical foundations with hands-on training and advanced research.
Students study topics related to image and signal processing technologies, as well as their applications in various sectors like healthcare, finance, and entertainment. The curriculum includes both theoretical and practical elements, fostering critical thinking and innovation.
The program is organized into four semesters. The first two semesters focus on core modules, while the last two include a thesis project and internships in collaboration with industry partners. This structure prepares students for real-world challenges and opportunities.
Graduates will have strong analytical and technical skills, with the ability to lead projects that integrate technology and business needs. They will be equipped to tackle complex problems in various sectors, utilizing modern tools and techniques for analysis.

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.
