ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits are a numerical value allocated to course units to denote the student workload required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work required by each course in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of academic study at the institution including lectures, practical work, seminars, tutorials, fieldwork and private study as well as assessment activities. Thus, ECTS is based on a full student workload and not limited to contact hours only. The basic allocation of academic credits in ECTS is 60 credits for a full year of study; 30 credits per semester.

Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations have been passed. In other words, students do not get ECTS credits simply for attending classes. They must complete all requirements for each course to satisfy the specific learning objectives.

Students of our master’s degree programme will be awarded the academic degree Dipl.-Ing.
The academic degree "Dipl.-Ing." corresponds to the international degree "Master of Science in Engineering".

Tuition fee of EUR 363,36 + Austrian students' union fee (ÖH-Beitrag) per semester for students from EU and EEA countries.
Tuition fee of EUR 726,72 + Austrian students' union fee (ÖH-Beitrag) per semester for students from non-EU member states.
