The Master's programme in Physics at the University of Graz emphasizes a wide range of specializations, including astrophysics and climate research. Students can choose individual modules to align with their interests, such as nanophysics or particle physics. Graduates are prepared for diverse careers in academia, industry, and research organizations, both domestically and internationally.
In the Master of Science in Physics, students explore fundamental laws of nature, focusing on topics such as astrophysics, climate physics, nanophysics, and particle physics. The program allows for a deep investigation into both theoretical and experimental approaches within these specializations.
The program is structured over four semesters, comprising various modules that offer flexibility in specializations. Students will engage in research projects and may have opportunities for internships to apply their knowledge practically.
Graduates of the program will develop a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical frameworks and practical applications of physics. They will gain skills in analytical thinking, problem-solving, and research methodologies that are applicable in various high-tech and academic 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.
