Graz, Österreich - A fresh wind blows through the university landscape, through a new cooperation agreement between the Technical University of Graz and the Free University of Bolzano. From the winter semester 2025/26, the common, English -language study program "Smart and Sustainable Production" will be launched. This innovative offer enables master students to acquire a double degree, which promotes international mobility and intercultural exchange. tu graz The corresponding cooperation agreement was signed on June 18, 2025 by Stefan Vorbach, the Vice Rector for Teaching of the Technical University of Graz.

The new program is designed as a four -semester study with a uniform curriculum. Students spend their second semester at the Unibz in Bolzano and the third at the TU Graz. The crowning glory is a master's thesis that is jointly supervised by lecturers from both universities. Graduates can look forward to two respectable degrees: the title graduate engineer (MSC) from the TU Graz and the Master of Science in Industrial Mechanical Engineering from Unibz.

A step into the future of engineering

The program not only reflects the efforts to work on European educational and research cooperation, but also goes hand in hand with the aim of strengthening the exchange of teachers and learners. According to daad Master student always a stay at least one -semester stay at a partner university. A stay at least one year is required for Bachelor's courses.

The TU Graz has proven a good hand here by involving central actors such as Dean Franz Haas and the diversity of studies Hannes Hick and Bernd Zunk into the development of the program. Yuri Borgianni will take on the role of the course manager at the Unibz. Together, these universities rely on practical training and promote intercultural learning through the innovative concept.

A look outside the box

Such an internationally oriented course is very popular. Students who are interested in joint training can benefit a lot from experience abroad. These programs are not only open to engineering, but are also available for all disciplines at universities and universities of applied sciences. The advantage: There are no restrictions on partner countries, which enables the way for many to expand their study experience as long as you do not come into contact with France, since the German-French University is responsible here.

For everyone who is looking for international studies, there is a perfect opportunity here. Information on the various courses and opportunities can be obtained via the platform of Hochschulkompass . Such a program clearly shows that the universities are ready to face the challenges of the globalized world and to actively support the exchange of not only knowledge, but also to actively support cultures.

The course for a successful future in the field of engineering is set, and it remains exciting to observe how this initiative develops and what talents it will produce.
