Johannes Kepler University Linz·Natural Sciences and Engineering
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The Bachelor program in NaWi-Tec offers a broad foundation in natural sciences, technology, and digitalization. It provides fundamental knowledge in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and programming. In the first four semesters, students gain a solid scientific grounding, followed by specialization in their chosen field in the fifth and sixth semesters. This interdisciplinary approach prepares graduates for various careers in the MINT sectors.
Students study fundamental principles across chemistry, mathematics, and physics, with applications in programming and technology. They develop problem-solving skills and interdisciplinary knowledge necessary to address real-world challenges.
The program involves a set number of lectures and modules per semester, starting with a foundational orientation phase. Students are expected to engage in practical studies and internships as well as prepare for their thesis in the later semesters.
Graduates acquire comprehensive knowledge in the MINT fields, fostering both practical and theoretical expertise. Skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and effective communication are also emphasized.

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.
JKU Linz combines law, business, social sciences, engineering, and Austria's first medical faculty with a bachelor in medicine — on a green campus with strong industry ties (including the LIT Institute of Technology).
