The Visual Computing program focuses on the creation and manipulation of visual information using computational methods. Students learn about computer graphics, image analysis, and visual analytics. Graduates commonly enter careers in multimedia and gaming industries.
The Master’s program in Embedded Computing Systems focuses on designing and creating technologies used in various interconnected applications, including smart devices and industrial automation. Students study the integration of hardware and software, focusing on circuit design, system architecture, and the interaction of computing systems with the physical world.
Organized over four semesters, the program includes both theoretical coursework and hands-on projects. Students engage in practical learning experiences that culminate in a thesis project, allowing them to apply their technical knowledge in real-world settings.
Graduates gain significant competencies in the design and development of embedded systems, encompassing a strong foundation in hardware-software integration, system optimization, and real-time operating systems. They are also equipped with critical problem-solving skills that are highly valued in engineering and technology 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.
