Montanuniversität Leoben·Materials Science and Engineering
Master of Science (M.Sc.)
The double degree master's programme "Advanced Materials Science and Engineering" is offered in an international university environment. This program focuses on interdisciplinary learning and research in materials science, combining resources from six partner universities. It prepares graduates for advanced engineering roles and fosters a broad professional network.
In the AMASE program, students delve into advanced topics in Materials Science and Engineering, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The curriculum integrates the study of materials from a molecular to structural level, encompassing themes such as nanotechnology, biomaterials, and sustainable materials.
The AMASE program spans two years and is organized into four semesters, allowing students to benefit from a joint European curriculum. Students engage in practical internships, and a thesis project is completed during the final semester, enhancing their research skills.
Graduates of the AMASE program develop crucial competencies in materials engineering, including analytical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to conduct independent research. They become proficient in multiple European languages, enhancing their employability in international settings.

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.
