The Master in Informatics emphasizes practical and technology-driven approaches, allowing students to specialize in areas such as Data Science and Software Engineering. Internships are encouraged to enhance practical skill sets, preparing graduates for roles in software development and project management. The program aims to cultivate innovative thinkers and leaders in technology.
In the Master's degree programme in Informatics, students delve into advanced topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Business Information Systems, Data Science and Engineering, Distributed Systems, and Human-Computer Interaction. The curriculum emphasizes the development of problem-solving skills through the application of computer science concepts and methods, preparing students to tackle complex technological challenges.
The program spans four semesters and includes a combination of required and elective courses, culminating in a Master's thesis. Students engage in a practical project worth 18 ECTS credits, and it is encouraged to complete a portion of their studies abroad, enhancing their academic and cultural exposure.
Graduates acquire expertise in managing software development projects and developing innovative solutions to complex problems. They become adept at using modern technologies and techniques in Informatics, equipped with a strong theoretical foundation and practical experience.

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.
