Tuition Fees

Unfortunately, it is not possible to pay in instalments and neither an extend of the payment deadline is possible. The fee has to be transferred to the university's bank account until 31st of March for summer semester or 31st of October for winter semester at the latest. Otherwise you will be automatically de-registered from university by the system.

Next Steps after Enrollment at the Study Support Center

These are you next steps:

  1. Pay your tuition fee
    Do not forget to indicate the payment reference!

     
  2. Wait 3 - 4 business days until the payment can be allocated to the university’s bank account.

     
  3. Open your student account with the PIN Code you got upon enrolment.

     
  4. Print out your confirmation of enrolment. You will be needing this for your health insurance.

     

  5. Register for courses. Have a look at the MU-Online Guide here: https://ssc.unileoben.ac.at/fileadmin/shares/ssc/docs/MU-OnlineUserguide__English_.pdf
    If you need help registering for courses you can always ask the ÖH Leoben (student union): vorsitz(at)oeh.unileoben.ac.at

     

    You might also find useful information regarding your studies in Leoben here:
    https://ssc.unileoben.ac.at/fileadmin/shares/ssc/docs/MU-OnlineUserguide__English_.pdf

  6. Get Health insurance (for example ÖGK)
  1. Register your residence with the city of Leoben: www.leoben.at/en/service/residence-registration/
  1. Book an appointment with BH Leoben to pick up your residence permit. They will send you a list of documents (“Meldezettel” = confirmation of registration, confirmation of health insurance, confirmation of enrollment at university) you have to submit. 

 

Application in MUonline/Pre-Registration

Login to your Basic Account (for pre-registration) with your username and selected password here: https://online.unileoben.ac.at/mu_online/ee/ui/ca2/app/desktop/#/login

If you need help logging into your account write have a look here: https://ssc.unileoben.ac.at/fileadmin/shares/ssc/videos/pre_register_01.mp4 or use the contact-assistent to get in touch with the Study Support Center. 

If your application portal states, that the document you have uploaded is "not ok" you should be able to re-upload the corrected document under “upload corrected documents”.

 

Unfortunately, your application has reached us outside the deadline.

We would like to point out that a system maintenance run will be carried out in the applicant portal before the start of the next application phase, which is why the documents you have already submitted cannot be included in the review process.

To ensure that your application reaches us on time and can be included in the review process, please resubmit your application during the relevant application period.

Please note the following tips for a successful application:

1. Did you prepare all the necessary documents?
2. Are your official documents (school leaving certificate, Bachelor's degree, transcript of records, etc.) properly legalised and translated? 
3. Do you have a corresponding proof of language proficiency?

We would also like to point out that multiple applications prolong the application process, as a separate equivalence check must be carried out for each application. We therefore recommend that you apply for the degree programme that interests you the most. 

Visa and Residence Permit for Austria

To study in Austria as a third-country national, you need a student residence permit. Apply for it at the Austrian representative authority in your home country and wait for the result there. In special cases, you can apply in Austria but only if you have visa-free entry.

 

Attention: A digital copy of our admission letter is enough for the residence permit application submission.

You will have to complete courses with a total value of 16 ECTS or 8 Semesterstunden (semester hours) within one year of study. If you do not meet this requirement, it may affect your residence permit extension application. In the worst case, this application for extension will not be granted. You would then only be able to stay in Austria until the end date of your current residence title.

You don't have to proof funds to study at our university, but a proof of funds is required for the application for a residence permit in Austria.

To be able to enter Austria and pick up your residence permit, you will have to apply for a visa D for pick up. This visa is only for a one time entry to Schengen. Nevertheless, we highly recommend you to come to Austria early enough, since there will be a few things to do for you in Leoben before you will get your residence permit card: 

1. Final enrolment at MUL --> You will have to submit a confirmation of enrolment

2. Registration with the city of Leoben --> You will have to submit your confirmation of registration in Leoben (in Austria we call it "Meldezettel"). 

3. Getting an “all risks” covering health insurance

With your residence permit you are allowed to travel in Schengen and stay within other Schengen countries for 90 days within 180 days.

For your information:

 

We do not recommend you to apply for two Bachelor’s programmes as the first year of studies on undergraduate level is the same for all Bachelor’s programmes at Montanuniversität Leoben.

 

For the Higher education entrance qualification in your pre-registration please choose the following: 25 - (foreign secondary school leaving exam) for getting admitted to a Bachelor's programme

 

If you would like to withdraw your application for admission please send us a short statement about wanting to do so, with your personal signature via e-mail or cancel your online application in MUonline.

Basically, the two study programmes Responsible Consumption and Production and Circular Engineering deal with similar topics. A significant difference, however, is the duration of the program (RCP 8 semesters, CE 7 semesters) and the fact that a stay abroad at one of the partner universities (EURECA-PRO) is compulsory within the framework of RCP.

 

 

 

Admission to a Master's degree programme

After the first examination of your documents from the admission office, your application then has to be checked carefully by the study programme coordinator and the dean of studies.
So as you can see, this is not only in the hands of admission office but your application passes through several organisational units at the university.

It will still take us a few weeks to process your request, as your application goes through several departments of the university.

If you would like to have an admission letter, you must first create a basic account in the university’s MUonline. Enter the application for your desired study programme under the online pre-registration and upload the required documents, then click on send. Only then is your application submitted. You can find more details relevant to your application with this link: https://ssc.unileoben.ac.at/en/start-of-studies/admission 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to check the documents in advance. The examination of the documents is the responsibility of the admission office, the study programme coordinator and the dean of studies. We are therefore unable to provide any information on eligibility in advance. / Your application will be assessed in a multi-stage process as part of the application procedure. Therefore, no information can be given in advance about your eligibility to study.

The decision about prerequisite courses has to be made by the study program coordinator after an internal assessment of your Bachelor's degree.

Required Documents:

·Application for admission filled out and signed

· Copy of passport

·Bachelor’s certificate and Transcript of Records (must be legalised)

·Proof of language proficiency

  •  CV

For your information:

Please note that incorrectly legalised documents will slow down the admission process and you may therefore not be admitted to the desired semester.

 

We do not recommend to apply for more than one Master’s programmes as this will prolong the processing time of your applications.

For the Higher education entrance qualification in your pre-registration please choose the following: 31 - (foreign post-second. educ. inst.) for getting admitted to a Master's programme or a PhD.

Unfortunately, we cannot tell you how long the application process will take, because this depends on how long the processing of the study programme coordinator and the dean of studies will take.

 

 

 

Legalization and Apostille

Check whether the country issuing your documents is a member of the Hague Authentication Convention. In this case, legalisation by means of an apostille is necessary.

 

Have you contacted the Austrian representation authority in your country yet?  You need to make an appointment there to get your certificates and all the required papers checked and ratified. Please note without this ratification (legalisation) your papers will not be processed for admission. Please contact them and ask them for their requirements to legalize your papers. 
Legalisation makes documents suitable for use in another country. The process often involves several different steps.   

To have your documents legalised, please contact the Austrian representation authority in your country.

Have a look here to find your Austrian representation authority: 

https://www.bmeia.gv.at/en/embassies-consulates/search-for-austrian-representations
Worldmap of Austrian representations: https://www.bmeia.gv.at/fileadmin/user_upload/maps/Vertretungen/vertretungen.html 

  • Please inform yourself in advance about exactly how the documents have to be legalised.
    It is important to know that the legalisation of documents can often take several months, so you should allow enough time for this.
  • Please note that incorrectly legalised documents will slow down the admission process and you may therefore not be admitted to the desired semester. 

 

The university does not accept notarized copies. Please send us your original documents or notarized copies of your documents carrying the original legalisations. Scanned copies with stamps of a notary cannot be accepted. 

 

Further information on the legalisation standards for Austria can be found at this link: https://www.bmbwf.gv.at/Themen/schule/schulrecht/anauschubi/bvs.html 

Original Documents

We would like to point out that the digital transmission of documents only serves as an initial formal check. For final admission, we reserve the right to verify the original legalisation and request that the documents be sent by post. Please only send the original documents after the International Study Services Team has requested them. The documents should be sent to the postal address of the university:

Montanuniversität Leoben

Study Support Center
Franz-Josef-Straße 18

To get your documents back you have to organize a pick-up by a courier service on your own expense.

Please note, that if you organize a pick-up by a courier service you will get a label for your shipment. This label has to be sent to the Study Support Center in advance.

Let us know as soon as possible, when the courier service is going to pick up your documents, as we have to prepare them in advance.
