Montanuniversität Leoben·Materials Science and Engineering
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master's program in Advanced Materials Science and Engineering (AMASE) offers a unique opportunity to study materials science and engineering in an international environment. Benefit from the collaboration between six renowned universities, including the Technical University of Leoben, providing both technical knowledge and intercultural skills.
Students will study topics focused on material structure, processing technologies, and advanced materials. The program emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical application.
The program is organized into two phases: an Adaptation Phase covering core modules in the first semester, followed by a Specialisation Phase in the second and third semesters focusing on advanced topics. Students will also complete a Master’s thesis.
Graduates will gain essential competencies in materials development, quality control, and research, preparing them for roles in various high-demand sectors.
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.
