Das Masterstudium Recyclingtechnik vertieft das Wissen aus dem Bachelor und bereitet die Studierenden auf eine Schlüsselrolle in der Transformation zur Kreislaufwirtschaft vor. Die Ausbildung umfasst verschiedene Schwerpunkte, darunter Abfall- und Entsorgungslogistik sowie Simulation von Recyclingprozessen. Absolvent*innen sind in der Lage, komplexe Recyclingstrategien zu entwickeln und in verschiedenen Industrien tätig zu werden.
In the Master’s program in Recycling Technology, students focus on the efficient recycling of materials such as metals, plastics, construction materials, and glass. They learn to optimize recycling processes using modern technologies while considering economic and legal frameworks.
The program builds on a bachelor’s degree and includes practical training through laboratory exercises. Students also typically engage in a Master’s thesis, often in collaboration with industry leaders, allowing them to gain real-world experience.
Graduates acquire specialized knowledge in recycling technologies and sustainability management, along with skills in communication and teamwork, preparing them for leadership roles in industry and research.

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.
