The Master program in Code and Interactive Systems provides an advanced understanding of the design and development of interactive media. It emphasizes innovation, creativity, and complex system development to prepare students for leadership roles in technology-driven industries. Graduates emerge with a portfolio that showcases their project work and technical skills.
Students explore advanced topics in game design, interactive systems, and user experience. The curriculum includes both theoretical foundations and practical applications through hands-on projects.
The program spans four semesters, integrating coursework with mandatory project-based learning. A thesis project is also a key component of the final semester.
Graduates develop skills in leadership, project management, and advanced technical competencies, making them suitable for high-level positions in game and software development.

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.
