The Master's Programme in Chemistry focuses on advanced study in the field of Chemistry, providing the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge. It is structured into a blend of specialized modules and elective courses that encourage critical thinking and research capabilities. Graduates are well-prepared for various career opportunities in research, academics, and industry.
Students study advanced chemical concepts, laboratory techniques, and research methodologies. The curriculum emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical applications in real-world scenarios.
The program is organized into four semesters, with a combination of lectures, laboratory work, and research projects. Students are required to complete a master's thesis in their final semester.
Graduates will possess strong analytical skills and a deep understanding of chemical processes, enabling them to contribute effectively to scientific and technological advancements. They will also be well-prepared for further studies, such as a PhD.

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.
