The Deans of Studies support the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs in the strategic and operational handling of tasks.
TU Graz has always provided high-quality education and has also been a world leader in specific areas. To do so, we refer to the current standards in terms of content and modern forms of teaching and learning. Education is currently in a state of transition; classical teaching methods are increasingly being supplemented by innovative, media-supported methods. This is a necessary and important reaction to changes in the learning behaviour of current and future students.
Due to our internationalisation strategy, students are prepared to meet the challenges presented in a global working environment. Our graduates are in demand both at home and abroad and have excellent career prospects.
