The Master’s Degree Program in Renewable Energy Engineering focuses on energy technology and economics, addressing the integration of renewable energies into urban energy systems, intelligent grids, and sustainable energy supply practices. It provides a comprehensive assessment of energy-saving potentials and the necessary legal and technical frameworks. Students develop solutions for complex energy systems, analyzing efficiency and ecological impacts in energy production and management.
Students study various aspects of energy systems, including energy-efficient technologies, sustainable practices, and economic implications of energy generation and consumption. The program covers topics from energy management to technological integration of renewable sources.
The program is structured over four semesters, with courses scheduled across three to four fixed days each week, including evenings. It incorporates remote learning elements, allowing for a flexible study pace and optional semesters abroad.
Graduates will gain competencies in analyzing energy systems, proposing sustainable solutions, and developing energy concepts tailored for urban planning. They will also be well-versed in current technologies and legal frameworks surrounding energy production and consumption.
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.
