University of Klagenfurt·Media & Communications
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The Bachelor of Arts in Digital Media, Culture, and Communication fosters understanding of modern media landscapes, enabling students to craft impactful messages and engage audiences effectively.
In the Bachelor’s program of Digital Media, Culture, and Communication (DMC2), students explore the dynamics of digital media, focusing on themes such as datafication, sustainability communication, and the societal impact of digital platforms. The curriculum emphasizes understanding how digital tools can promote products and ideas and highlights the importance of strategic communication in various digital contexts.
The program is structured over six semesters, combining a major focus of 120 ECTS credits with additional minors totaling 60 ECTS credits. Students participate in an introductory period, followed by advanced tracks that incorporate theories and practical applications in digital media and communication.
Graduates of the DMC2 program acquire a strong foundation in scientific methods and develop competencies in data analysis, digital content creation, and strategic communication. They are prepared to interpret data within digital contexts and understand the ethical implications of digital media.

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.
