The Bachelor's program in Architecture at TU Graz equips students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills essential for designing spaces and structures, as well as city planning. The curriculum emphasizes creativity, technical proficiency, and the application of architectural theory and history. Students engage in hands-on projects and have access to advanced facilities like 3D printers and CNC machines. Graduates emerge as well-rounded professionals ready to tackle the challenges of urban development and sustainable design.
Students study topics such as sustainable building practices, architectural history, and the principles of design and construction. The program includes practical sessions that emphasize the development of comprehensive design projects. Students will explore both theoretical frameworks and technical skills necessary to create functional and aesthetic buildings.
The program is organized into several phases that guide students from foundational principles to advanced design concepts. Over the six semesters, students participate in seminars, lectures, and hands-on workshops, culminating in a thesis project. The curriculum is structured to balance theoretical knowledge with practical application through various projects and internships.
Graduates gain competencies in architectural design, critical thinking, and project management. They are equipped with skills in sustainability, urban planning, and the use of current technologies in architecture. The program prepares students for careers as architects, project managers, and consultants in the building industry.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
