University of Klagenfurt·Media and Communication
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master’s degree programme in Media and Convergence Management provides students with an extensive understanding of media, communication, and technology. It combines cultural studies, media studies, economics, and technical sciences. This interdisciplinary approach ensures graduates are well-prepared for careers in various sectors of the media and entertainment industry, particularly as leaders who can navigate the convergence of traditional and digital media.
In the Master’s degree program Media and Convergence Management, students study convergence across technology, media, and content, exploring how these areas intersect and affect each other in today's digital landscape. The curriculum covers media use across various platforms, including film, gaming, and publishing, with a focus on managing these convergence processes in diverse contexts.
The program is structured over four semesters, offering a mix of required and elective courses alongside a Master's thesis. Students are encouraged to engage in practical experiences through projects and potential internships, allowing them to apply their learning in real-world scenarios.
Graduates gain a multidisciplinary skill set, including expertise in media management, organizational communication, marketing, and technology integration. They are equipped to conduct independent research and manage the complexities of the media industry, making them competitive in various fields.

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.
