University of Innsbruck·Physics
Master of Science (MSc) in Environmental Management
The Master in Applied Physics program focuses on providing advanced knowledge in the field of physics with an emphasis on practical applications. Students will engage in cutting-edge research, and develop skills in problem-solving and analytical thinking. The program prepares graduates for careers in various industries, including technology and engineering sectors.
In this program, students study various aspects of environmental management, focusing on ecological principles, sustainability, and the interconnection between human activities and environmental practices. Topics include environmental policy, conservation strategies, and the socio-economic impacts of environmental changes.
The program is organized over several semesters, typically including theoretical courses, practical applications, and fieldwork components. Students may be required to complete a thesis project that integrates their knowledge with real-world environmental issues.
Graduates gain competencies in analyzing environmental challenges, developing sustainable strategies, and implementing policies that promote ecological well-being. Students also build skills in project management and communication, essential for working in multidisciplinary teams.

Non-EU / third-country rate. Always confirm on the official site.
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.
The University of Innsbruck is western Austria's largest university, notable for physics, mountain-related sciences, law, and business, set between the Alps in Tyrol's capital.
