This program integrates data science and industrial processes to improve decision-making in engineering sectors. Students learn about data analysis, machine learning, and process optimization. Career paths include data analyst, process engineer, and consulting roles.
Students study topics related to data analysis, machine learning, sensor technologies, and automation. The focus includes understanding and modeling industrial processes for making data-driven decisions.
The program is organized into six semesters plus practical experience. Hands-on projects complement theoretical learning, and students are encouraged to pursue industry internships during their studies.
Graduates gain competencies in data science, technical problem-solving, and a deep understanding of industry processes, enabling them to excel in data-driven roles.
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.
