FH Vorarlberg·Business Informatics
Master of Science in Engineering (MSc)
This part-time Master's program combines business, technical, and social science content. Students will learn to evaluate digital innovations and implement them for company value. The curriculum allows for individual study design through optional contextual studies and emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach.
The program covers topics such as digital business management, leadership development, and data knowledge engineering. It balances theoretical and practical knowledge suitable for the digital transformation context.
The program is organized over four semesters with a combination of online and in-person classes. It includes mandatory modules and allows students to select contextual studies, culminating in a master's thesis.
Graduates will develop competencies in business informatics and digital innovation management, equipping them for leadership roles. Skills include project management, data analysis, and strategic development.

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.
