Der Masterstudiengang Geographie und Regionalforschung bietet eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit spatialen und zeitlichen Zusammenhängen in der Geographie. Studierende erweitern ihre analytischen Fähigkeiten und erlangen hinreichendes Wissen zur Behandlung komplexer Raumfragen auf regionaler, nationaler und internationaler Ebene. Berufliche Perspektiven umfassen sowohl Forschung als auch praktische Anwendungen in der Planungs- und Umweltforschung.
In the Master's program Geography & Regional Research: Regional Transformations, students explore topics such as climate change, globalization, and urban-rural dynamics. The curriculum focuses on understanding and actively shaping regional transformations and societal challenges, providing tools to analyze these complex phenomena.
The program is organized over four semesters, culminating in a Master's thesis. Students benefit from small group formats that encourage intensive collaboration and support from faculty, along with opportunities for internships and projects with regional stakeholders.
Graduates acquire analytical competencies, interdisciplinary skills, and practical experiences necessary to tackle complex regional development issues. They learn to collaborate effectively in teams to develop and propose relevant solutions.

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.
