FH Vorarlberg·Electrical Engineering
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The Bachelor's program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology Dual at FHV offers students a unique blend of academic and practical experience in technology development. Focused on sustainable technologies, the program provides essential skills for innovation in industries like renewable energy and automation. Students gain hands-on experience while working alongside their studies, enhancing their employability.
Students study topics in electrical engineering, including power systems, circuit design, and embedded systems. The program emphasizes project-based learning and hands-on experience with real-world applications of technology.
The program is organized into six main semesters, which include theory and practical projects. Students complete a Bachelor’s thesis and may also engage in internships or cooperative education opportunities.
Graduates gain competencies in electrical engineering, including technical skills in circuit design, software development, and project management. They are prepared for impactful roles in technology-driven industries.

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 Vorarlberg in Dornbirn is western Austria's applied-sciences hub for engineering, design, business, and social work, embedded in the Rhine Valley's industrial cluster.
