The Mechanical Engineering program offers a comprehensive understanding of mechanical systems and processes. The curriculum includes design, thermodynamics, and material science, equipping students with the skills needed for various engineering roles across industries. The program emphasizes hands-on experiences and real-world applications.
Students will study various engineering disciplines, focusing on topics such as mechanical design, material science, thermodynamics, and mechanical dynamics. The emphasis is on the practical application of engineering principles.
The program is structured over six semesters, including theoretical courses and practical training in labs and industry partnerships. Students will engage in projects that challenge their understanding of mechanical systems.
Graduates will acquire competencies in engineering design, problem-solving, and the application of mathematical and scientific principles in mechanical engineering contexts. They will be prepared for roles in diverse engineering fields.

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.
