A research-oriented master's with specializations in secure systems, data science, and computer vision. The curriculum is highly flexible, letting students assemble a track around their interests while engaging with active research groups. Fully taught in English, it pairs well with Graz's low cost of living.
In this program, students explore advanced topics in technology and management, focusing on innovation and sustainable development in smart districts. They study themes such as urban development, intelligent systems, and their implications for society.
The program is organized into four semesters, where the first two semesters cover theoretical and practical courses. During the third semester, students typically engage in internships or project work, leading to a thesis in the final semester.
Graduates develop expertise in project management, analytical skills, and the ability to implement innovative technologies. They gain skills essential for working in interdisciplinary teams and managing complex, tech-driven projects.

From Lodestar
Graz is far cheaper to live in than Vienna and this program is fully English — a great value pick.
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.
