- Positioning TU Graz as an excellent educational institution
- MINT funding
- Internationalization and diversification
- Guided Start and Guided End
- Motivational teaching and learning environment

The phases describe different life stages and the associated needs of stakeholders in higher education. For this reason, each of the phases is based on a specific field of action.
The Student Lifecycle
The TU Graz strategy of academic affairs is based on a holistic approach and applies to the entire Student Lifecycle.
The university assures the holistic effectiveness of their measures for education by accepting a responsibility to provide education over all stages of life, rather than only focusing on a specific time period. This approach contributes to lifelong learning as the students pursue their educational goals, moving along a path that takes them from the status of interested, prospective student to alumni member.
