Montanuniversität Leoben·Computer Science
Bachelor of Science (BSc)
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science focuses on the foundational principles and applications of computer science. The program includes hands-on programming, software engineering, and system design. Graduates are well-prepared for various roles in the technology sector.
Students will study algorithms, data structures, and software development methodologies. The curriculum covers key areas such as systems programming and database management. Students will also gain practical experience through projects.
The program is organized into six semesters, culminating in a final project. Students will participate in internships after the third semester to gain real-world experience. A capstone project is required in the last semester to demonstrate skills acquired.
Graduates will gain strong analytical and technical skills needed to excel in the fields of technology and software development. They will be equipped to handle complex programming tasks and understand system architectures. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are emphasized throughout the program.
Periods can differ for EU/EEA and non-EU applicants. Always confirm on the official site before applying.

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.
