Paris Lodron University Salzburg·Computer Science
Master of Science (MSc)
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program provides a comprehensive understanding of software development and computer systems. Students learn programming languages, algorithms, and data structures, preparing them for a variety of careers in technology. The curriculum includes hands-on projects and internships to foster practical skills, ensuring graduates are competitive in the job market. Career outcomes include software developer, data analyst, and systems engineer.
Students engage with topics including data analysis, algorithm design, and machine learning techniques. The program emphasizes practical applications in information technology and computer systems.
The program is structured into four semesters, with a combination of core modules and electives. Students complete a final thesis project in their last semester that demonstrates their practical and theoretical knowledge.
Graduates develop strong analytical skills, programming expertise, and a deep understanding of software development processes. They are equipped to tackle complex technical problems in various environments.

Non-EU / third-country rate. Always confirm on the official site.
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.
The University of Salzburg (PLUS) covers humanities, law, natural and life sciences, and digital cultures in one of Austria's most attractive student cities.
