University of Klagenfurt·Computer Science
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master of Science in Computer Science at the University of Klagenfurt focuses on advanced topics in computing such as algorithms, data mining, and artificial intelligence. The program is structured to equip students with both theoretical foundations and practical skills. Graduates will be prepared for various roles in the tech industry, ranging from software development to research positions in academia.
Students will study advanced concepts in algorithm design, programming paradigms, and emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning. The curriculum is designed to develop skills in problem-solving and critical thinking, equipping students to design and implement software solutions.
The program is organized into four semesters, with a mix of theoretical courses and hands-on projects. Students will undertake a research project in their final semester, culminating in a thesis. Internships are encouraged to gain practical experience in the industry.
Graduates are equipped with strong programming skills, a deep understanding of computer science theory, and experience in project management. They develop analytical skills to evaluate and create innovative technologies, preparing them for a variety of roles in tech industries.

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.
