There are many reasons why students from all over the world move to TU Graz. Let’s start with the location of the University right in the middle of Europe – and the University’s strong ties to practical experience and industry. Set in an international technology location, Graz is a place where students can enjoy a lively and at the same time pleasant stay in an urban environment. The extensive green areas and the cultural diversity of the city in which 300,000 people live, among which are 57,000 students, only add to the attraction.
Range of study programmes in English
But let’s talk about the most important thing. TU Graz offers a growing range of master’s programmes held in English in the field of science and engineering.
