In dem Masterstudiengang Polymer Science and Engineering beschäftigen sich die Studierenden intensiv mit den Eigenschaften und Anwendungen von Polymeren. Der Studiengang bietet eine Kombination aus theoretischem Wissen und praktischen Anwendungen, um auf die Anforderungen der Industrie vorbereitet zu sein. Absolventen sind in der Lage, innovative Lösungen für Produkte und Materialien zu entwickeln, die in verschiedenen technologischen Bereichen eingesetzt werden.
The program covers topics in polymer chemistry, processing techniques, sustainability, and their applications in various industries. Students delve into advanced polymer science, learning about material properties and processing methods.
The Master’s program consists of core modules, elective courses, and a thesis, structured over four semesters. Students will complete hands-on laboratory work and may engage in research projects.
Graduates will acquire expert knowledge in polymer science, enabling them to innovate in material development and processing. They will develop skills in scientific research, project management, and interdisciplinary teamwork.

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.
