University of Graz·English and American Studies
Master of Arts (MA)
The European Joint Master's Degree in English and American Studies focuses on advanced scholarship in these fields while promoting intercultural understanding. It involves cooperation between multiple European universities, offering diverse perspectives and methodologies. Students gain competencies relevant to teaching, research, and cultural analysis, preparing them for academic or professional roles.
The program covers literature, culture, and language studies, providing a broad understanding of English and American contexts. It includes critical theories and methodologies necessary for research in these fields.
The curriculum is organized into core modules, electives, and thesis work, allowing for specialization in various subfields. Internships are encouraged, enhancing practical experience.
Graduates will develop analytical, research, and critical thinking skills, equipping them to assess cultural phenomena. Proficiency in English is advanced, making them suitable for international work environments.

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.
