Teaching as a cornerstone of the faculty’s duties comprises teaching as a service as well as teaching for the specialty studies of the faculty and multi-department professional studies.

Teaching as a service comprises in particular the basic courses of mathematics and physics for nearly all courses of study at Graz University of Technology. In the academic year 2017/18, teaching as a service accounted for nearly 2/3 of all exams taken.

The faculty offers bachelor studies and research-oriented master studies in their core competences of Mathematics, Physics and Geodesy. The faculty is also in charge of teacher training in Descriptive Geometry and makes key contributions to comprehensive, multi-faculty and university, study programs, such as, Advanced Materials Science, Environmental Systems Sciences  / Climate and Environmental Monitoring, Geospatial technology as well as Space Science and Earth from Space.

The bachelor and master study courses are jointly offered with the University of Graz in the framework of the NAWI Graz cooperation. The corresponding three master courses (Mathematics, Physics, Technical Physics) are taught in English in the context of internationalisation.

In the core area of geodesy, all curricula were reorganised in a future-orientated concept.

The faculty is involved in the Environmental Systems Sciences / Climate and Environmental Monitoring Master's program, which deals with current issues of climate and environmental monitoring of high scientific and social relevance.

In the meantime, around 200 graduates have successfully completed the master studies of Advanced Materials Science. Introduced in 2008 as part of the NAWI Graz cooperation, this course is now taught in English.

A significant number of master and doctoral theses supervised by the faculty are made in co-operation with industry.

All three departments of the faculty conduct their doctoral studies in the framework of NAWI Graz and three doctoral schools: Mathematics and Scientific Computing, Physics and Geo Sciences, Class of Geodesy. The department of mathematics participates at two doctoral colleges, one in co-operation with TU München.
