Bachelor of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
The Bachelor of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence prepares students for a career in the high-demand fields of AI and data science. The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, enabling graduates to analyze large data sets and develop AI solutions. Students will engage in project-based learning, guest lectures, and hands-on experiences in cutting-edge laboratories. The focus on real-world applications ensures that graduates are well-equipped to enter a variety of industries.
The program covers key topics in data science, including machine learning, data analytics, and AI development. Students explore how to manage and interpret large data sets to extract valuable insights relevant to various sectors.
The Bachelor program is structured over six semesters, with a combination of theoretical coursework, practical projects, and internships. Students will complete a capstone project in their final semester, synthesizing their learning into a comprehensive application.
Graduates will gain competencies in data analysis, machine learning, and the ethical implications of AI. They will be equipped with the skills to work in diverse fields by understanding both the technical and business aspects of data utilization.

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.
