Information for first-semester bachelor students
What is the Minimum number of credits?
Students who have been admitted to a Bachelor's degree programme for the first time since the winter semester 2022/23, or who have resumed an earlier Bachelor's degree programme since this date, are obliged to complete a minimum of 16 ECTS credits within the first four semesters.
If this minimum is not achieved, admission to the degree programme will expire and you will be barred from re-admission to the same degree programme at the Montanuniversität Leoben for four semesters.
The deadline by which at least 16 ECTS must have been completed is 31 October or 31 March after the end of the fourth semester after the start of the degree programme. Semesters on leave of absence do not count towards these 4 semesters.
If you notice difficulties in your study progress, especially in the STEM subjects, we recommend that you participate in the Peer Teaching programme of the Montanuniversität Leoben.
The minimum study performance does not apply to students with a proven impairment.
What is the MINT-Event?
MINT stands for maths, chemistry, physics, mechanics and information technology
The MINT@Leoben Event was created to prepare students for the start of their studies.
At the Event, which is held in a hybrid model (in person / online), students giva an insight into the STEM subjects.
In the afternoon, there will then be face-t-face events as part of the Onboarding Week, where any questions on various topics can be clarified.
For further questions about the MINT-Event, please contact MINT(at)unileoben.ac.at
What is the STEOP?
