A Master’s degree is the second level in the Bachelor-Master system.

Applicants to a Master’s degree programme must meet the following conditions:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or
  • Equivalent academic qualification in a related field

The exact admission requirements for each programme are listed on the individual programme webpages.

Master certificate programme

The part-time Master certificate programmes at FH JOANNEUM are perfect for professionals wishing to further their knowledge in their chosen field. These programmes are designed to allow students to study while continuing their current employment. The qualifications gained on a Master certificate programme range from Master of Science (Continuing Education) / MSc (CE) to Master of Arts (Continuing Education) in Social Science / MA (CE) to Executive Master of Business Administration / (EMBA).

After successful completion, these qualifications open up new professional and career perspectives as an expert in your field.
In contrast to Master’s degree programmes, there is no funding for places on Master certificate programmes. Consequently, these programmes are financed in part by tuition fees paid by the students. Another difference to a Master’s degree is that completion of a Master certificate programme does not entitle the graduate to pursue a doctoral programme. Whether graduates of certificate programmes are admitted to doctoral studies lies within the discretion of the respective university.

Most Master certificate programmes require students to have completed a degree with at least 180 ECTS credits on a Bachelor’s or Diploma programme at an Austrian or comparable foreign university or university of applied sciences. The exact admission requirements for the programme of your choice are specified on the relevant programme page.

Our Academic certificate programmes are more condensed than our Master certificate programmes and focus on specific continuing education goals. After completing the programme, you will be an Academic Expert in the respective field.
