Montanuniversität Leoben·Engineering
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The Bachelor of Science in Circular Engineering at Montanuniversität Leoben equips students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in the field of circularity in product lifecycles. It focuses on resource efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions while providing a robust foundation in STEM subjects. Graduates will be qualified for a variety of roles within sectors focused on sustainable development and product innovation.
Students study the principles of circular economy, focusing on product design, resource management, and sustainable practices across industries. The curriculum incorporates topics like waste management and renewable resource flow.
The program is structured across seven semesters, including core modules, electives, and practical experiences, culminating with a bachelor's thesis. Internships are also included to provide real-world experience.
Graduates develop critical thinking, engineering design skills, and an understanding of sustainability principles, preparing them to address future challenges in circular economies.

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.
Montanuniversität Leoben is Austria's specialist university for mining, metallurgy, and materials science — small classes, close industry links, and consistently excellent graduate placement.
