Attention: Proof of language skills
Due to a change in the curricula for the Bachelor's degree programmes Computer Science, Software Engineering and Management, Information and Computer Engineering and Chemical Process Engineering, from the winter semester 2025/2026, in addition to proof of German language skills - at least at level A2 - proof of English language skills at level C1 must also be submitted with the application. Both language certificates must not be older than two years at the time of application.
If you are unable to provide proof of English language proficiency at level C1 at the time of application, TU Graz will require you to take the ‘Supplementary Examination in English’ at the University Preparation Programme Graz in your letter of admission. This must be taken BEFORE the start of the Bachelor degree programme.
Further information will be published on our website soon.

Important Notes
- Due to the high number of applications, it is NOT possible for us to issue a confirmation of receipt to every applicant.
The processing of an application can take several weeks to months. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give an exact time frame. Please note that it may not be possible to be admitted in the semester applied for. TU Graz therefore recommends that you submit your application with all the necessary documents as early as possible. TU Graz assumes no responsibility for the organisation of your studies, e.g. visa appointments, relocation planning, etc.
Interventions by e-mail or telephone in the meantime will not speed up the processing of an application. - Documents will only be reviewed during the application process!
Applications that are sent by e-mail cannot be considered!
Applications that arrive after the submission deadline can only be considered for a later semester. - To ensure data protection, no information regarding the status of the review process can be released to third parties.
- Only complete applications (i.e. with all required documents) can be considered for admission. Submitting incomplete applications can increase the amount of time required for the review process! You will be informed immediately if documents are missing.
- According to the Austrian Universities Act (§ 60 para. 6), applications may only be submitted by the applicants themselves or by a person who can represent parties professionally in Austria. Applications submitted in any other way (e.g. via an agency) will be rejected.
