The Master's program in Energy Technology focuses on the sustainable and efficient use of energy resources. It covers various aspects of energy generation, conversion, and efficiency technologies, preparing students for a career in renewable energy and energy management. Graduates can work in various sectors including industry, consultancy, and government agencies, focusing on environmental protection and climate change mitigation.
Students will explore topics such as renewable energy sources, energy efficiencies, and economic impacts of energy technologies. Emphasis is placed on creating sustainable energy systems.
The program is organized into four semesters, including theoretical modules and practical projects. Students will complete a master's thesis in the final semester, demonstrating applied knowledge in energy technology.
Graduates will gain comprehensive competencies in energy technology, project management, and analytical skills necessary for addressing sustainability challenges in the energy sector.

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.
