Das Masterstudium Philosophie vertieft das im Bachelorstudium erworbene Wissen und ermöglicht eine weitere Spezialisierung. Studierende können zwischen verschiedenen Themen und überfakultären Masterstudien wählen, um ihre Ausbildung individuell zu gestalten und auf verschiedene Karrieren vorzubereiten.
In the Master’s program in Philosophy at the University of Graz, students focus on deepening and expanding their knowledge in areas such as theoretical philosophy, logic, practical philosophy, and philosophy of application. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and the analysis of philosophical concepts across various historical and systematic aspects.
The program is structured over four semesters, allowing students to set individual emphases within their studies. Graduates are expected to engage in independent research, culminating in the development of a thesis that showcases their research capabilities.
Graduates acquire a solid foundation in philosophical methods along with valuable soft skills such as critical analysis, independent thinking, and effective communication. This prepares them for various professional paths where analytical and research skills are essential.

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.
