The Internet of Things and Smart Systems master’s program focuses on the analysis, conceptual design, and implementation of IoT systems. It combines the fields of system development and communication technologies. Graduates can pursue various roles in the IoT industry, thanks to the wide array of skills taught. Specialization topics provide in-depth training, enabling a smooth transition into professional careers in the field.
The degree program covers IoT system architecture, network engineering, and software development. Students will explore automation and smart technologies as fundamental components in various industries.
Organized over four semesters, the program includes hands-on projects and optional semesters abroad. A thesis component allows for in-depth research on topics within IoT systems.
Graduates gain competencies in IoT system design, network integration, and security considerations. The program equips students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills applicable to real-world scenarios.
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.
