The Advanced Mineral Resources Development program focuses on sustainable practices in mining and efficient resource management. Students will learn about modern exploration methods, resource recovery, and innovative technologies for mining rehabilitation, preparing them for the challenges of a sustainable resource economy.
The program is structured across four semesters, spanning three renowned universities in Austria, Germany, and partner institutions in various countries. It integrates theoretical knowledge with practical experiences, including lab work, excursions, and project-based research.
Graduates will acquire competencies in environmentally friendly mining, project management, risk analysis, and legal frameworks. They will be equipped with interdisciplinary skills to address sustainability challenges in the resource sector.

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.
