Paris Lodron University Salzburg·Materials Science and Technology
Master of Science (MSc)
The Joint-Degree Master’s Program in Science and Technology of Materials emphasizes interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in the realm of material science. Students will focus on the production and characterization of innovative materials applicable in various industries such as automotive, medical technology, and environmental engineering. The program also involves practical experience through internships, and a master’s thesis, ensuring that graduates are well-equipped for professional challenges.
This program covers an array of topics from chemistry, physics, and engineering related to materials science. Students will explore innovative materials, their production processes, and applications across diverse sectors, including biotechnology and sustainable development.
The study structure includes compulsory modules, elective courses, and a significant focus on a master's thesis. The program spans four semesters and includes international exposure through exchange semesters.
Graduates will possess a deep understanding of materials science, encompassing the synthesis, characterization, and application of materials. They will be equipped with research skills and practical experience to tackle real-world challenges in material development.

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 Salzburg (PLUS) covers humanities, law, natural and life sciences, and digital cultures in one of Austria's most attractive student cities.
