The Bachelor program in Sports Engineering and Ergonomics focuses on the intersection of human factors and technology, especially in the development and testing of sport devices and ergonomic products. Students learn biomechanical measurement techniques, usability, and production technologies to optimize product design for human use. Graduates will have a broad range of career opportunities in industries such as sports equipment, health care, and automotive not just limited to engineering.
The program covers a wide range of topics, including ergonomics, product design, and biomechanical assessment techniques. Students also delve into the engineering principles that enhance sports performance and safety.
Organized over six semesters, the curriculum includes both theoretical coursework and practical applications such as internships and a final bachelor thesis. Students are encouraged to participate in a semester abroad for international experience.
Graduates acquire competencies in product development, ergonomic analysis, and biomechanical measurements. They are equipped to work in highly technical environments where innovation and user-centered design are paramount.
Periods can differ for EU/EEA and non-EU applicants. Always confirm on the official site before applying.

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 Technikum Wien is Vienna's dedicated engineering FH — the largest purely technical university of applied sciences in Austria, with strong industry-sponsored programs.
