FH Vorarlberg·Environmental Engineering
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The interdisciplinary Bachelor’s program in Environmental Engineering equips students with the skills to tackle current challenges including circular economy, environmental protection, and climate crisis measures. The curriculum combines environmental technology and resource management, focusing on the resource efficiency of products and processes. Graduates become sought-after experts in the environmental economy, enabling them to drive sustainable practices in industry.
The program covers topics in environmental engineering, resource management, environmental law, and sustainable energy systems. Courses are designed to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical applications in real-world projects.
The course is structured over six semesters, with both theoretical and practical components. Students engage in workshops and project work, culminating in a final project or thesis in the last semester.
Graduates acquire competencies in environmental engineering, data analysis, project management, and interdisciplinary teamwork. They are prepared to address sustainability challenges in various industrial settings.

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.
