Das Bachelorstudium Recyclingtechnik vermittelt naturwissenschaftliches, technisches, ökonomisches und rechtliches Wissen, um komplexe Recyclingaufgaben zu meistern. Studierende lernen, Materialien effizient wiederzuverwerten und den Stoffkreislauf zu schließen. Zudem haben sie die Möglichkeit, innovative Recyclingkonzepte zu entwickeln und zur Schonung natürlicher Ressourcen beizutragen. Nach Abschluss des Studiums können Absolvent*innen in verschiedenen Sektoren wie der Forschung oder der Rohstoffindustrie tätig werden.
In the Bachelor’s program in Recycling Technology, you study scientific, technical, economic, and legal principles essential for addressing complex recycling challenges. The curriculum includes materials efficiency, sustainability, and methods for effective resource recovery and climate protection.
The program spans 6 semesters with an additional semester dedicated to practical experience, totaling 210 ECTS credits. You will engage in hands-on projects, covering the entire recycling value chain from development and production to logistics and legal regulations.
Graduates acquire competencies in material recycling, project management, and the application of sustainability principles. They develop skills that prepare them for critical roles in advancing the circular economy.

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.
