The Bachelor's program in Computer Science covers programming, software development, and algorithm design. Students will learn both theoretical and practical aspects of computing, preparing them for careers in IT, software engineering, and research.
In the Bachelor's Programme in Computer Science, students explore the fundamentals, technologies, and applications of automated information processing. The curriculum covers essential topics such as programming, algorithms, data structures, and software engineering.
The program is structured over six semesters, culminating in a Bachelor’s thesis. It includes a Studies Induction and Orientation Stage in the first semester and various specialized courses throughout, providing a balanced mix of theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Graduates possess a broad scientific education in computer science, strong programming skills, and a deep understanding of modern information technology systems. They are well-equipped to tackle real-world IT challenges and prepared for advanced studies.

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.
The University of Innsbruck is western Austria's largest university, notable for physics, mountain-related sciences, law, and business, set between the Alps in Tyrol's capital.
