FHWien der WKW·Digital Technology and Innovation
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master program in Digital Technology and Innovation prepares students to take on complex roles in digital technology and innovation management. It combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience through team projects and practical challenges. Students engage with current and emergent technologies while exploring the impact of innovation on business practices and societal changes.
Students study digital technologies including machine learning, generative AI, and innovation methodologies. The curriculum emphasizes user-centered design and agile project management, preparing graduates for interdisciplinary work in innovation and technology.
The program is organized into four semesters with a blend of online and on-campus instruction. Students complete team projects, workshops, and a master's thesis during their studies, with opportunities for internships and international excursions.
Graduates gain competencies in digital technologies, project management, and innovation strategies. They develop critical thinking and leadership skills, preparing them for complex roles in various sectors.

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.
FHWien der WKW, backed by the Vienna Economic Chamber, focuses on management, communication, and digital economy programs with mandatory industry internships.
