Montanuniversität Leoben·Geophysics
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Engineering
This joint degree in Applied and Exploration Geophysics allows students to study geophysical techniques associated with resource exploration. The collaboration with the University of Pisa enriches the learning experience, with a curriculum designed for hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge in geophysical methods.
In the programs at Montanuniversität Leoben, students engage in advanced studies focusing on practical topics such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, energy transition, resource security, and sustainable technologies. The emphasis is on innovations and solutions for contemporary challenges in materials science and engineering.
The program is organized into several semesters where students alternate between theoretical coursework and hands-on projects or internships. There is an integration of research components, allowing students to work on a thesis that addresses real-world problems.
Graduates gain competencies in engineering principles, project management, and strategic thinking, equipping them for roles in both academia and industry. They also develop skills in sustainability practices and innovative methodologies in engineering fields.

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.
