Paris Lodron University Salzburg·Materials Science
Master of Science (MSc)
This master program covers the science and technology behind the development, application, and sustainability of modern materials. Students will engage in hands-on lab work to complement theoretical learning, preparing them for innovation in materials engineering. The program offers graduates a pathway into industries like electronics, aerospace, and sustainable technologies.
This program focuses on the science of materials and their applications in technology. Key areas include sustainability, innovation, and leveraging materials science in cutting-edge technologies.
Students complete four semesters, which include core and elective courses, along with a practical thesis in a relevant field of study.
Graduates will possess comprehensive skills in materials analysis, problem-solving, and project management, making them valuable assets in diverse technical fields.

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.
