University of Klagenfurt·Computer Science
Master of Science (MSc) / Laurea Magistrale
The Double Degree in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity is a collaborative program between the University of Klagenfurt and the University of Udine. It allows students to gain a Master's degree recognized in both Austria and Italy, focusing on international networking and enhancing career opportunities in the fields of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Students will attend courses at both universities and complete a Master's thesis that meets the requirements of both institutions.
The program covers advanced topics in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, focusing on the integration of secure AI technologies in various applications. It emphasizes technical skills and practical knowledge in cybersecurity frameworks and AI methodologies.
The program is organized over four semesters, including core courses, electives, and a Master's thesis project. Students spend part of their studies at the University of Udine, where they also engage in collaborative projects and internships.
Graduates will acquire a robust foundation in AI and cybersecurity principles, alongside practical experience in managing security issues related to AI systems. They will be equipped to tackle complex challenges in tech-related roles across diverse sectors.

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.
