The Master of Science in Information Technology builds upon the foundation of undergraduate studies, allowing students to explore advanced topics in software engineering, data analysis, and network security. The program is designed for individuals who wish to deepen their technical expertise and prepare for leadership roles in the technology sector.
Students engage in advanced studies of software engineering practices, data science methodologies, and cybersecurity principles. The curriculum includes practical and theoretical components to enhance students' skills in real-world scenarios.
The master's program spans four semesters, culminating in a master’s thesis. Students also have the opportunity to participate in internships with industry partners to gain practical experience.
Graduates will have in-depth knowledge of current information technologies and their applications. They will develop strong project management skills and be prepared to tackle complex IT challenges in various organizational contexts.

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.
