Students engage in both technical subjects, such as engineering mechanics and thermodynamics, as well as management topics, including project management and business economics. The program emphasizes applying theory to practice through hands-on projects.
The study program is structured over six semesters, integrating both classroom learning and practical assignments. Students also participate in internships that connect academic learning with real-world industry experiences, culminating in a final thesis project.
Graduates will gain essential competencies in engineering and business administration, providing them with problem-solving skills and a strong analytical mindset. They will also learn to communicate effectively in a team-oriented environment.

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.
