Starting your studies: Advice and introduction

06/30/2017 | TU Graz news | Studies

By Ute Wiedner

The Students’ Union at TU Graz offers advice about studies from 10th July onwards and will support you in registration matters. There are Welcome Days in September with information for new students.

Heading towards your studies: Newcomers can get personal advice from the Student’s Union at the introductory days. The Students’ Union at TU Graz and the registration office also answer your questions by email.

Open questions

At last, school leaving exams are over, but still lots of questions need answering. If you are interested in technology and science but still need help deciding what you want to study or important details, you can get personal advice at TU Graz from 10th July to 5th September. Two students from the Course Guidance Office of the Students’ Union (HTU Graz) will answer any questions about studying and organisation of studies, living and financing your studies at the Students’ Union stand directly in front of the Registration Office in Rechbauerstraße 12. During the time advice about enrollment is given at the Registration Office, the info stand is occupied from 9am to 12pm from Monday to Friday – the same opening hours as the Registration Office.
