University of Graz·Natural Sciences
Master of Science (MSc)
The Master of Science in Applied Natural Sciences offers a comprehensive education in various scientific disciplines, combining theory with hands-on experience. Students engage in research projects and gain skills applicable in both academic and industrial settings. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to complex scientific problems, preparing graduates for a range of careers in research, industry, and education.
Topics covered include advanced methodologies in experimental sciences, ecological studies, and analytical techniques. The curriculum is designed to provide a broad understanding of natural sciences and their applications.
The program is structured into four semesters, comprising mandatory modules, elective courses, and a master thesis. Students are encouraged to participate in internships and practical training to enhance their learning experience.
Graduates will acquire advanced knowledge in natural sciences and develop practical skills in research methodologies, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

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.
