TU Graz·Software Engineering
Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.Ing.) or Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's programme in Software Engineering and Management prepares students to shape the digital world by integrating technical knowledge with business expertise. Students learn about the production and management of complex software systems, fulfilling quality criteria, timelines, and cost calculations.
Topics covered include software engineering principles, management methodologies, project management, data science, and specialized topics such as game development and artificial intelligence.
The program lasts for 4 semesters, combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications through projects and a master's thesis. Students have flexibility in choosing major and minor subjects to deepen their expertise.
Graduates will possess advanced knowledge in software engineering, project management, and business management. They will be prepared for interdisciplinary thinking and teamwork, equipped with the necessary skills for leadership roles in technology.

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.
