  • “Environmental risk – climate, air quality and noise”: You will learn the basics about air quality and climate.
  • “Environmental Risk – Water”: This focus addresses water supply systems and management of flood, drought and health risks.
  • “Water Quality Economics and Resource Management”: You will learn how to purify water, dispose of wastewater and manage waste.

Process Engineering (Verfahrenstechnik): 180 ECTS, 3 years, process engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering science with the fundamentals and applications of technical chemistry and mechanical engineering forming the main focus of the department. Therefore, a broad education in these two disciplines is offered, providing students with a solid foundation. Additionally, interdisciplinary collaboration with other departments is encouraged to expand knowledge of practical requirements (e.g. management, legal aspects).Industrial-Mechanical Engineering (Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen – Maschinenbau): 180 ECTS, 3 years, industrial engineering provides interdisciplinary engineering, mathematical, social and economic knowledge to be able to model, simulate and design systems from different perspectives. To meet varying requirements, the industrial engineer needs expert and methodological knowledge that is scientifically sound and application-oriented. On the one hand, it is necessary to design, optimize and implement operational processes in terms of an economical production of goods and services. On the other hand, qualified monitoring of constantly changing competitive conditions is necessary to identify new challenges early and use them for companies.

MASTER STUDY (MASTERSTUDIEN)

A master’s degree is a regular course of study that serves to deepen and complement academic pre-professional education. Master’s programs at TU Wien usually last four semesters and are worth 120 ECTS. In case of admission at TU Vienna with an incomplete bachelor’s degree, additional exams may be required. The contact persons for admission to a training course are the relevant deanies. Despite the master’s degree designation, studies end with the well-known title of Diplomingenieur (Dipl.-Eng.). Notification of the granting of the academic title is made in German and English. In the English version, equivalence with the Master of Science (MSc) is confirmed.

DOCTORAL EDUCATION (DOKTORATSTUDIUM)

The essence of doctoral studies at the Technical University of Vienna is your own scientific research. A significant contribution is made to the development of science with the new information obtained. The thesis at the end of the PhD represents the summary of the results of this research work. There are three doctoral programs at the Technical University of Vienna, all based on a study plan and allocated according to the type of previous education. The PhD program consists of 6 semesters. It consists of preparing the thesis within the framework of 162 ECTS and completing courses worth a total of 18 ECTS. Independent research into the preparation of the thesis must be supervised by a person with a teaching license (professorship qualification). The culmination of the doctoral program is the Rigorosum, a general board examination with a thesis examination. Prerequisites for admission to doctoral studies at the Technical University of Vienna are:

  • Completion of a relevant Diplom, Magister, Masters or teaching degree, or
  • Completion of an equivalent degree from a recognized domestic or foreign post-secondary educational institution or
  • Completion of a technically relevant university of applied sciences diploma course or university of applied sciences master’s course in accordance with Section 6 (4) of the Fachhochschule Studiengesetz and
  • For non-EU or EEA nationals: possibly also proof of direct admission to doctoral studies in the country of origin of the diploma (private university entrance qualification) and
  • approval of supervision from a person licensed to teach (although not formally required, it is not possible to complete a doctoral program without a supervisor)
