Admission to a Master's Programme

Basic requirements for admission to a master's programme at Montanuniversität Leoben are a suitable bachelor's degree and language skills in the language of instruction of the chosen programme (min. level B2).

If your bachelor's programme fulfils the necessary requirements according to the curriculum of your desired master's programme, you will be admitted directly.

If you want to continue with a master's programme that builds on your bachelor's programme (for details, see the curriculum of your desired master’s programme), simply announce this upon completion of your bachelor's degree or send an email to the Study Support Center. If the necessary language requirements have also been met, you will be admitted directly.
