University of Innsbruck·Building and Civil Engineering
Diplom-Ingenieurin/Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing. or DI)
The Master's programme in Civil Engineering offers an in-depth study of building and civil engineering principles, aiming to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills necessary for this field. The curriculum is designed to provide a detailed overview of structures, examination regulations, and the qualification profile necessary for successful careers in engineering. Graduates are well-prepared for roles in project management, consultancy, and research within the civil engineering sector.
Students in this program study various topics related to civil engineering, including structural analysis, environmental engineering, and project management. The curriculum is designed to provide practical and theoretical knowledge essential for real-world applications.
The program is structured over four semesters, including mandatory modules, elective specialisation areas, and a master’s thesis. Full-time study participants are expected to complete 120 ECTS credits during this period.
Graduates gain expertise in civil engineering design and management, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. They are equipped to tackle complex engineering challenges and lead projects effectively.

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.
