The Quantum Engineering master's program prepares students for careers in the cutting-edge field of quantum technologies. It provides a comprehensive curriculum covering quantum computing, cryptography, and photonics, equipping graduates with skills highly sought after in the tech industry. Designed for those with a background in physics, electronics, or computer science, students will also delve into AI as an integral aspect of their studies, preparing them for a future in a rapidly evolving digital space.
Students in this program will study various topics including quantum technologies, programming of quantum computers, and the application of AI in quantum development. The program emphasizes practical skills and innovative thinking.
The curriculum is organized into four semesters, with an option for a semester abroad. It combines theoretical coursework with practical applications, including internships and industry collaborations.
Graduates will gain expertise in quantum technologies, programming skills for quantum hardware, and an understanding of photonics. They will be well-prepared to contribute to the development of next-generation quantum systems.

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.
