The Bachelor of Science in Engineering focuses on equipping students with the fundamentals of engineering principles and practices. It emphasizes hands-on experience and real-world applications through laboratory work and projects. Graduates are prepared to take on roles in various engineering fields, addressing complex engineering challenges.
The program covers essential engineering topics such as physics, mathematics, and computer science, alongside specialized engineering subjects. Emphasis is placed on project-based learning for practical skills.
The program is organized into three main phases: foundational studies, advanced coursework, and a final project or internship. Students complete core modules followed by electives, culminating in a bachelor thesis.
Graduates will possess a solid foundation in engineering principles, practical problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively in teams. They will have enhanced critical thinking and technical skills for the engineering field.

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.
