This Master's program in Psychology follows the Bachelor's program, deepening knowledge in key areas of the discipline. It prepares students for professional paths in clinical settings, research, and educational environments, emphasizing practical training alongside theoretical learning.
In the Master in Psychology program, students explore clinical psychology, health psychology, psychoanalysis, social and cultural psychology, and developmental psychology across the lifespan. The curriculum emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical applications, including research methodologies and psychological diagnostics.
The program is structured over four semesters, requiring students to complete 120 ECTS. It includes compulsory courses, practical internships, and the completion of a master's thesis, providing a comprehensive learning trajectory.
Graduates gain advanced competencies in psychological diagnostics, clinical practice, research methodologies, and the handling of diverse social challenges. They develop critical reflection skills necessary for scientific and practical applications within psychology.

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.
