The Technology and Design Bachelor's program explores the integration of technology into creative design processes. It emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning, where students experiment with various technologies to develop innovative design solutions. Collaboration with industry partners provides students with practical experience and insights into contemporary practices.
The program covers design methodologies, technology integration, and sustainability, preparing students for contemporary design challenges. Students create projects that reflect current trends and technologies in the field.
Over six semesters, students engage in theoretical and practical courses, culminating in a final project that showcases their skills and understanding of technology in design.
Graduates are equipped with the skills to tackle design challenges, blending creativity with technical insight, suitable for various roles in design and technology 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.
