The Master's degree in Forest Products Technology & Timber Constructions focuses on wood as a sustainable material for the future. Students deepen their knowledge in areas such as material characteristics, economic aspects, and management skills, making them sought-after experts in the timber industry. The program incorporates practical projects and research initiatives, preparing graduates for impactful careers in timber construction and product development.
Students explore topics such as the properties of wood, innovative building materials, and timber construction techniques. They engage in specialized coursework and practical applications in the timber industry.
The program is organized into four semesters, allowing students to choose a specialization from the second semester. It includes lectures, workshops, and a thesis project.

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.
