Das Masterstudium Materials Science bietet eine fundierte Ausbildung in der Materialwissenschaft mit einem starken Fokus auf innovative Forschungsansätze. Studierende lernen, wie man fortschrittliche Materialien für den Einsatz in unterschiedlichsten Anwendungen entwickelt und optimiert. Absolventen sind bestens gerüstet, um in der Forschung, Entwicklung und Industrie erfolgreich zu arbeiten und neue Materialien zu entwickeln, die nachhaltig und effizient sind.
The curriculum covers advanced materials knowledge including the characteristics and behaviors of different types of materials. Special emphasis is placed on practical applications and innovations in the field.
The program is organized over four semesters, integrating theoretical coursework with practical engagements, including a master's thesis typically conducted in collaboration with industry partners.
Graduates will gain competencies in materials development, testing, and optimization, equipping them for careers in research, industrial applications, and consultancy regarding materials.

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.
