How the fees work. EU/EEA and Swiss students pay no tuition within the standard duration plus two semesters, then EUR 363.36 per semester. Most other students pay EUR 726.72 per semester (about EUR 1,453 a year); nationals of a list of least developed countries are exempt. The compulsory student union fee (ÖH-Beitrag) is EUR 26.20 per semester.
About this programme
Master in Advanced Materials Science is a master’s programme at University of Graz in Graz, taught in English. It carries 120 ECTS credits. The register gives Graz as the campus town. It lists the academic degree as Diplom-Ingenieurin/Ingenieur, Dipl.-Ing., DI. University of Graz is a public university in Styria.
How it compares
Master in Advanced Materials Science is one of 4 English-taught Materials Science programmes at master’s level in the register, offered by 3 institutions. 4 of them list an annual fee for students from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland; this programme lists EUR 1,453 a year. 4 are at a public university, where EU, EEA and Swiss students pay no tuition within the standard duration plus two semesters. The same programme title is offered at 2 institutions, so compare the content, campus and requirements before you choose.
What you will study
This is a materials science master's taught entirely in English at the University of Graz, run in collaboration with TU Graz. It is a 120 ECTS degree that leads to the Austrian engineering title Diplom-Ingenieurin or Diplom-Ingenieur (DI).
What you study
The programme covers the production, characterisation, simulation and applications of materials. You get both the theory behind materials behaviour and a lot of time in the lab: the register description explicitly mentions extensive practical laboratory work. You pick one of three specialisations:
- Metals and ceramics
- Semiconductor processing and nanotechnology
- Biobased materials
So the degree is broad in its foundations but lets you go deep in one class of materials, from classical metals to semiconductors to materials made from biological sources.
Admission, language and next steps
Teaching is in English. The register notes that there might be an admission procedure at the Graz University of Technology, so check with the institutions before you apply. There is no central application portal: you apply directly to the university, and its own page gives the application period and any entrance requirements. As a public university, the University of Graz charges no tuition to EU/EEA and Swiss students within the standard duration plus two semesters; other students pay a fee per semester. Confirm the details on the programme page before you apply.
What the register says
The students will learn about various aspects of the production, characterisation, simulation and applications of materials, both from a theoretical perspective and through extensive practical laboratory work. You can choose between three areas of specialisation: metals and ceramics, semiconductor processing and nanotechnology, or biobased materials.

Before you apply
There is no central application portal in Austria: you apply to the institution, here University of Graz. A public university sets the admission requirements and dates for this level, so read them on the programme page. Entrance examination, as the register states it: there might be an admission procedure at the Graz University of Technology. Entry requirements and language tests are set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, the student residence permit and housing.
Facts on this page come from the Austrian national register (BMFWF open data and studienwahl.at, which states the language of instruction). Fees are in euros as the register lists them. "Not listed" means the register has no figure, not that the programme is free. Always confirm requirements, fees and dates with the institution.
