The Master’s in Creative and Human-Centered Technology teaches you to develop human-centered solutions linked to real needs. Focused on systematic development of interactive systems, the program spans the creation of 2D/3D games to immersive XR applications and data-driven visualizations. Graduates are prepared for roles in technology and design, bridging the gap between both.
The program covers computer science fundamentals combined with digital design. It emphasizes the development of human-centered technologies from concept to implementation, ensuring ethical considerations in design.
The program consists of four semesters, focusing on project work, leading to a master's thesis. Studying is structured in a way that allows for part-time work, with classes held in the evenings and Fridays.
Graduates acquire skills in analyzing complex usage problems, designing user interfaces, implementing real-time graphics and immersive systems, and managing interdisciplinary projects responsibly, particularly in AI applications.

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.
