Joint & Double degree Programmes
Joint/Double Degree Programmes offer students the opportunity to gain experience abroad, as well as the chance to learn about other academic approaches and different perspectives. Building up an international network, learning/expanding a foreign language and understanding cultural diversity is just as important for a professional career today as the versatile knowledge one acquires during the study of a joint/double degree.
The Technical University of Leoben, in cooperation with various partner institutions, also offers a number of Master's programmes. Find an overview of already successfully running Joint or Double Degree Programmes here:
The double degree master’s programme „Advanced Materials Science and Engineering“ is an engineering degree (4 semesters / 120 ECTS) in the field of materials science and engineering in an international university environment with intensive networking of research and teaching between six partner universities.

Advanced Mineral Resources Development (AMRD) is a Joint Master Degree Programme between the Technical University of Leoben (Austria) and TU (Technische Universität) Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany) and a third partner university.
Students will study the first semester at the Technical University of Leoben, the second semester at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, and the third and fourth semester at another partner university. The fourth semester is for the preparation of the master's thesis. The language of instruction is English.
The programme, held in English, provides students with broad and profound skills in the areas of structure, properties, manufacture and application of products of the building materials and ceramics industry (mineral binders and building materials, refractory materials, ceramics and glass) as well as mineral processing. It is double degree programme with a duration of four semesters, split between two partner universities. The first two semesters are held at Wuhan University of Science and Technology and the third and fourth semester are held at the Technical University of Leoben.
The four-semester Master’s programme in Digital Civil Engineering Sciences combines the expertise of two leading Austrian universities. Students benefit from a dynamic blend of online and in-person teaching at Montanuniversität Leoben and TU Wien.
The curriculum first provides a solid foundation in civil engineering and computer science, before moving on to in-depth study of digitalisation- and automation-supported processes in the construction industry. Close integration into an international research community, along with partnerships with leading companies in the construction sector, ensures hands-on experience and excellent career prospects.
The international Master Programme in Applied and Exploration Geophyics (IMAGE) is a joint degree with the University of Pisa. During the studies, at least one term is spent at the partner university. The classes are in English language and the focus is on the geophysical exploration of resources and the near surface. Imaging and inversion, rock physics and formation evaluation are important parts of the study programme.
The Joint International Master’s Programme in Petroleum Engineering at the Technical University of Leoben not only opens doors to laboratories and lecture halls, but also to new cultures, continents and careers. The programme offers to choose the following specialised focus areas:
- Global Energy Transportation and Storage
- Advanced Well Construction and Operation Technology
- Reservoir Management
- Subsurface Field Development
The Sustainable Materials (SUMA) master programmes are two-year master programmes embedded in the engineering programmes of the participating universities (120 ECTS). They combine a high level of expertise in materials with competences in sustainable materials engineering and sustainability to educate responsible materials oriented entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders for the future.
The programme offers a cooperation in Material Science in bachelor degree with our partners. After completing four semesters, the students can transfer their studies to the Technical University of Leoben and graduate from TU Leoben.
B2 level German knowledge is required from students to be eligible to continue their studies at the TU Leoben
The Technical University of Leoben is part of the European School of Materials, a programme under the direction of the French engineering school EEIGM (École Européenne d'Ingénieurs en Génie des Matériaux) of the University of Lorraine (Nancy). This unique partnership in materials science is not only a highly qualified technical Bachelor's programme, but also imparts sound intercultural knowledge. After four semesters at the Technical University of Leoben, students go to Nancy for three more semesters and complete their studies with a double bachelor's degree, which significantly increases their international employability.
The European Mining Course is a new Triple Degree Exchange Master's Programme organised by the Technical University of Leoben, RWTH Aachen (Germany) and Aalto University (Finland). During the two-year program, students study together at all three universities, one semester at each. The final semester is reserved for the master's thesis.
The EMC covers every aspect of the life cycle of mineral resources. It is designed to provide a solid understanding of the global mining industry and takes a life-cycle approach by covering the entire mining value chain. It offers a state-of-the-art technical basis in resource modelling, mine design and economic evaluation. Technical knowledge is supplemented with topics on business economics, ethics, environmental engineering and a clearly defined and structured program for the management of health, safety and environment. Through guest lectures from industry, excursions and industrial projects, students gain direct insight into the international mining industry.
Geomatics for Mineral Resources Management is an interdisciplinary field of research that combines aspects of surveying, sensing and data processing, geoinformatics, and geomodelling. The main focus of geomatics lies in regulating and monitoring the interaction between raw material extraction and environmental impact.
