University of Art and Design Linz·Technik und Design
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Bachelor of Arts in Technik und Design at Kunstuni Linz integrates technology and design, preparing students to engage with creative and technical aspects of design. Students benefit from hands-on experience in workshops and studios located in central Linz, where contemporary and future material cultures are explored. The program emphasizes collaboration with other institutions and fosters critical engagement with societal, technological, and ecological issues.
In the BA program, students study various design fundamentals, digital fabrication, and material sciences to develop their creative skills. The curriculum fosters an understanding of sustainable practices in design, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration.
The program consists of eight semesters, including practical workshops, theoretical courses, and a final project or thesis. Students participate in collaborative projects and internships as part of their learning experience.
Graduates acquire essential design skills, an understanding of technical processes, and the ability to tackle complex design challenges. They are prepared for roles in various creative industries, equipped with both artistic and technical competencies.

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.
Kunstuniversität Linz focuses on design, media art, and architecture, with close links to the Ars Electronica ecosystem.
