University of Art and Design Linz·Architektur
Master of Architecture (M.Arch)
Das Masterstudium Architektur an der Kunstuniversität Linz vertieft die Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten, die während des Bachelorstudiums erworben wurden. Der Fokus liegt auf nachhaltigem und innovativem Architekturdesign. Die Studierenden erarbeiten komplexe Projekte, die sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Aspekte des Architekturberufs berücksichtigen, und bereiten sich auf Führungspositionen in der Architekturbranche vor.
Students delve into advanced topics of architecture, urbanism, and landscape design. The focus is on integrating theory with practice to foster innovation in architectural solutions.
The program spans four semesters, comprising design studios, theory courses, and a substantial final project. Internships and practical work are encouraged to bridge academic and professional practice.
Graduates emerge with enhanced skills in architectural design, critical thinking, and project management, prepared for leadership roles within architectural firms and design agencies.

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.
