Teaching
Teaching at TU Vienna The education offered by
the TU Vienna is rewarded by high international
and domestic recognition. The chances for
graduates for getting an attractive employment
are very prosperous. The high demand for
graduates of the TU Vienna from economy and
industry,governmental as well as research
institutions are manifest evidence for this.
Wide Range of Studies The TU Vienna offers 19
bachelor-, 43 master-, 5 teacher training and 3
doctoral programmes. Since October 1, 2006, the
study programmes have been taught as bachelor
and master programmes, according to the Bologna
process.
