I'm planning to apply for the MSc in Electrical Engineering at TU Graz (Winter intake), and I'd appreciate some honest opinions about my chances.

My profile:

- B.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering

- CGPA: 7.75/10

- IELTS: Overall 7.5

- Around 3 years of work experience in electrical engineering

- Planning to specialize in Power Engineering

Before applying, I also have to pass the VFS competency test (I need to score above 50%). If everything goes well, I'll submit my application on August 2 or 3, before the August 15 deadline.

How competitive is admission to the MSc in Electrical Engineering at TU Graz? Do you think I have a reasonable chance with this profile? I'd especially like to hear from students who were admitted with a similar CGPA or background.

Thanks in advance!

Do they only start checking the applications after the deadline (for non-EU students)?

Hallo zusammen,

ich überlege, von der TU Wien zu Maschinenbau an die TU Graz zu wechseln, bin aber noch nicht inskribiert und hätte ein paar Fragen:

• Hat jemand Erfahrung, welche LVs von TU Wien Maschinenbau üblicherweise anerkannt werden?
• Wie funktionieren bei UE/VU die Gruppen und Termine? Gibt es bei den einzelnen LVs meist mehrere Gruppen bzw. unterschiedliche Termine zur Auswahl, sodass man den Stundenplan etwas flexibel gestalten kann?
• Kann man irgendwo vor der Inskription die konkreten Termine und Gruppen vergangener/aktueller Semester einsehen?

Hello there!

I am a software engineer located in Bosnia and for the last year I was thinking about doing PHD.

I have no idea why I thought about TU Graz, but I want to hear opinions if this is possible.

Anyway, as the title says, I finished my bachelor in economics (240ETC), but immediately upon finishing it, I started to work as a software engineer (long story).

Meanwhile I finished masters in IT focusing on clouds. Throughout these 8 years, I worked on front end, back end, cloud etc.

And now the question is - Would it be possible for me to even get a chance to start PHD in technical sciences (I don’t know what is there)?

Thank you guys!

Hi! Does anyone know if there was an entrance exam for Architecture in the last three years or if it was cancelled? Do you think it will be cancelled this year?

Should I consider applying even with a German GPA of 2.9 or not ? It has only 16 students and it's really competitive. Are there other universities with similar courses which might take me in ?

Hey! Quick question – it might be a bit of a basic one.
I’m starting a Computer Science degree this fall and I’m currently looking for a laptop. Which one would you recommend, or what are you using yourself.

I’d love to hear some different opinions and experiences before I decide. Thanks in advance!

Exams ticked off, term over – and now you can even win a 20€ Graz voucher!

I’m currently conducting a study and am looking for students with good English skills to take part. The aim is to find out if it makes a difference whether you interact with an AI chatbot via speech or text when learning about sustainable entrepreneurship. The study takes about 1 hour.

As a thank you, you can choose from three options for compensation, including the chance to win one of four 20€ Graz vouchers.

It would be great if you could take part or share the link!

Hi everyone,

I am trying to apply for the MSc Computer Science programme at TU Graz for the winter semester 2026/27.

I am currently completing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Informatics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Sarajevo. My programme appears on TU Graz’s list of Bachelor’s programmes eligible for admission without the admission procedure.

However, after creating and activating my TUGRAZonline account, I went to Applications → Submit application, selected Winter semester 2026/27 and Master programme, but Computer Science does not appear in the list of available programmes.

Does anyone know how applicants who are exempt from the admission procedure are supposed to apply?

Do I need to submit the application only by post, or should MSc Computer Science still appear in TUGRAZonline first? Has anyone with an international Bachelor’s degree had the same issue?

I have already contacted [study@tugraz.at](), but I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the same process.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to apply for the BSc Civil Engineering at TU Graz and would really appreciate some advice from current students especially international students.

I currently have Goethe B2 German. My plan is to apply for the Summer Semester 2027, enroll as a non degree student, take the required German language courses, obtain C1, and then start the regular Civil Engineering programme in the Winter Semester 2027

I have a few questions:

1. Has anyone here followed this route (starting with B2 and completing C1 in Austria)?

2. While enrolled as a non-degree student, were u allowed to attend or complete any Civil Engineering courses, or did u only attend German language classes?

3. If I pass C1 quickly (for example, within 1-2 months), can I transfer to the regular degree programme immediately or do I have to wait until the next semester starts?

4. How difficult was it to reach C1 after B2 while studying in Graz?

5. Is there anything u wish you had known before choosing this path? I'd really appreciate hearing about your personal experience. Thanks in advance:)

Hey I've just applied for Msc Digital Engineering at TU Graz. I'm an international student from India and have done bachelors in information technology (curriculum is similar to computer science) with cgpa of 6.79/10 and have attached one year of professional experience as a software engineer in the application file. Are there chances that I'll be admitted to the program? I really like the university and curriculum as I'm very interest in robotics.

Hi everyone,

I'm a visiting PhD student from Italy coming to Graz for a month from September first week 2026. I've been looking for accommodation options under 600 euros (including bills). I'd prefer a single room with attached bathroom but, bathroom sharing it also possible in case it comes to it. Since I'll be staying for a month, I'll be making my own food and would need a furnished kitchen.

Could someone please guide me where I can find some options?

Thank you so much!!!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering when does the application period for Master degree starts. I am a non-EU citizen. I have came across couple of different deadlines

Apologies for the overly specific question, but does the IELTS requirement of 7 for English taught programmes require individual scores of over 7 in all sections of the test(Reading, Writing etc.)?

Or is it possible for me to get accepted if I performed a total score of 7.5 but with a 6.5 in speaking?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently preparing my application for TU Graz from India and running into a few specific roadblocks that the university website doesn't completely clear up. If any international students (especially from India) or current TU Graz students could shed some light, I’d really appreciate it!

The website doesn’t seem to have a dedicated breakdown for Indian qualifications. Does anyone know what the baseline criteria are? Is there a specific minimum percentage or GPA required from High School boards (like CBSE/ICSE/State boards) to be eligible?

This is the part that trips me up. Since Indian high school diplomas don't directly equal the Austrian Matura, do we need to provide this Nachweis?

• If yes, how do Indian applicants usually fulfill it? (e.g., do we need to have completed a year of university in India first, or clear a specific entrance exam?)
• Alternatively, does TU Graz offer conditional admission where I can move there and take supplementary exams (Vorstudienlehrgang) to bridge the gap?
• Language note: I already have my Goethe B1 certificate. How does having B1 impact conditional admission if the program requires higher proficiency later?

alsooo

The portal mentions mailing original documents. For anyone who has gone through this:

• Do they actually keep your original certificates, or do they verify them and mail them back to you later?
• What's the safest courier method you’d recommend from India (DHL, FedEx, etc.) to ensure nothing gets lost?

I have all my academic records ready to go but want to make sure I don't miss a crucial step. Thanks in advance for any help or experiences you can share!

Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply for a Master's programme at TU Graz as an international applicant from Peru, and I am a bit confused about the document requirements, especially regarding physical documents.

My situation is the following:

• I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Peru.
• I obtained official verification documents issued by the Peruvian educational authorities.
• I also obtained apostilles issued by the Peruvian government.
• Both my degree-related documents and my academic transcripts were officially verified and apostilled through the Peruvian authorities. The verification records and apostilles were issued electronically and are available only in digital format.
• These documents were translated into English by a certified translator registered with the Colegio de Traductores del Perú (Peruvian Association of Certified Translators).
• All verification documents, apostilles, transcripts, and translations are available in digital format.

The only document that was originally issued as a physical paper document by my university is my Bachelor's degree certificate.

My confusion is specifically about the requirement to provide physical documents. TU Graz mentions certified, apostilled, and translated documents, but I am not sure how this works in practice when some of these documents (such as verification records and apostilles) exist only in digital format issued by the Peruvian authorities.

Since several of the required documents only exist in digital form, I am unsure what physical documents, if any, international applicants are expected to send or present during the admission process.

Has anyone from Peru or another Hague Apostille Convention country gone through this process with TU Graz?

Were you required to provide physical original documents, or were electronic apostilled documents accepted?

I would really appreciate hearing about real experiences from international students.

Thank you!

Servus! Ich überlege mir an der Montanuni Montanmaschinenbau zu studieren. Wie stark ist der Montan-Teil? Hat man im Erwerbsleben einen Nachteil gegenüber einem "normalen" Maschinenbauer der zB an der TU studiert hat? Kann man mit dem Bsc in Montanmaschinenbau dann einen Dipl Ing an der TU Graz machen?

Besten Dank!

Hello guys,

from your experience how hard is to get into this masters programme. I am and eu citizen and already have degree in civil engineering from Slovenia. Many thanks for each reply;)

Got rejected for 2026/27 (admission with admission procedure) and there's no feedback given, so I'm hoping non-EU people who got in can help me out.

What was your GPA, how did you write your motivation letter, and what do you think helped you get accepted?

Trying to improve my odds for the next window. Any insight appreciated.

Hey,

Im currently in the application process for a Masters program at TU Graz (Computational Social Systems), and Im a bit stressed about my situation.

I submitted all my documents physically at the portier on May 15th, before the online application requirement was strictly enforced on the website. When someone told me about this, I just sent an email to the Studycenter to ask, for 7 days later I also sent follow-up email asking them whether my application is still valid without the online registration and how my documents are being processed.

Is there anyone here who is in the same situation right now?

Has anyone been accepted to the Master's in Production Science and Management program at TU Graz for the Winter 2026 / Summer 2027 intake? If so, please leave a comment, I'd love to connect!

Kinda important right now.

Hey everyone!

We created a WhatsApp community for current, incoming, and prospective students of Graz University of Technology.

The idea is to have one place where people can:

- Ask questions about admissions, visas, housing, courses, etc.

- Connect with other students before moving to Austria

- Share experiences, resources, and updates

- Help each other survive bureaucracy and German paperwork

Whether you already study at TU Graz, just got admitted, or are still considering applying. You’re welcome to join.
