Der Bachelorstudiengang Geowissenschaften vermittelt Kenntnisse über die Erde, ihre Materialien und Prozesse. Studierende lernen, geowissenschaftliche Probleme zu analysieren und Lösungen zu entwickeln. Der Studiengang bereitet auf eine Karriere in der Umweltforschung und im Ressourcenmanagement vor.
In the Geosciences bachelor's program, students explore the formation and structure of the Earth and life on it. The curriculum encompasses physical, chemical, and biological processes, focusing on resource exploration and sustainability.
The program is structured over six semesters, including theoretical courses and practical lab work. Students engage in field trips to apply knowledge to real-world geoscientific questions, culminating in a bachelor's thesis.
Graduates acquire competencies in scientific analysis and problem-solving, along with a solid foundation in various scientific disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and biology. They are well-prepared for interdisciplinary collaboration in geoscience-related 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.
Austria's second-oldest university (1585), the University of Graz offers a broad range of humanities, sciences, law, and business programs and shares the NAWI Graz science programs with TU Graz.
