BOKU University·Water Management
Master of Science (MSc)
This Master program develops advanced knowledge in water management and ecosystem science. It integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications, emphasizing sustainability and resource management. Graduates will be able to manage water resources effectively while considering ecological and societal implications. The program prepares students for roles in environmental management, consultancy, policy-making, and research.
Students in the Master programme in Green Chemistry study the principles of sustainable chemistry, focusing on environmentally benign processes and materials. Key topics include green synthesis methods, resource efficiency, and the role of chemistry in achieving sustainable development.
The program is structured over four semesters, including theoretical coursework, practical laboratories, and a thesis project. Students engage in interdisciplinary projects that bring together chemistry, engineering, and environmental sciences.
Graduates acquire advanced skills in chemical research, analytical techniques, and sustainable practices. They learn to assess environmental impacts of chemical production and develop innovative solutions for real-world problems.

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.
BOKU (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna) specialises in agriculture, forestry, environmental engineering, and biotechnology — the go-to university for sustainability-focused study in Austria.
