Montanuniversität Leoben·Civil Engineering
Master of Science (MSc)
The DiCES program combines civil engineering with computer science, reflecting the digital transformation in the construction sector. It offers a blend of online and face-to-face courses and integrates students into a vibrant research community, leading to strong career opportunities in the industry.
In this Master's program, students delve into the intersection of computer science and civil engineering, focusing on digital methodologies for sustainable construction. Topics covered include digital design, automation processes in construction, and theoretical and applied aspects of digital engineering in the built environment.
The program is organized over four semesters, with a blend of in-person and online lectures commencing with foundational courses in both civil engineering and computer science. Students then progress to specialized electives and culminate in a Master’s thesis in the final semester.
Graduates of the program acquire competencies in integrating digital technologies into construction processes and develop expertise in project management and innovative engineering solutions. They are well-prepared for both academic careers and roles in various industries, including construction and technology.

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.
