  • Letter of motivation (1 page)
  • High school/secondary school leaving certificate or university entrance certificate
  • University degree certificate(s)
  • International transcript of courses attended at university – if the list of classes is not detailed in the transcript: i.e. physics, chemistry, maths instead of physical chemistry, organic chemistry, quantum mechanics etc., please add an extra document that details the content of your lectures. This is especially important for non E.U. candidates.
  • APS certificate (Chinese applicants only)
  • Certificate(s) of industrial internship(s) attended
  • Recommendation letters from one professor or senior lecturer who knows you well.

  • A copy of the page of your passport with your picture on it. (The copy need not be certified by an authority).
  • The graduation certificate of your Bachelor’s degree. (You will need to send the original! If your certificate is not in English or German, you are required to provide a certified English or German translation.)
  • A copy of the complete list of courses that you have taken in your Bachelor’s program.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. For non- European Union students and depending on the country where you obtained your BSc, you will most probably have to legalize your documents (graduation certificate, confirmation of entrance requirement, language certificate if requested). This can be either a fairly simple and quick process such as getting an Apostille, or a more complicated and lengthy process requiring you to have your documents approved by your Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Austrian embassy/representative. It is very important that you contact us before you send your documents to make sure that you have all of your documents ready for our administration. You also need to be aware that this process might take a few weeks to up to a few months depending on your situation.

2. If you have translations of your documents, they will have to be certified. If possible, we recommend the simplified procedure called “Hague apostille”. For information about this procedure see here https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/authorities1/?cid=41
