The majority of master’s theses written at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien are now open access (i.e. freely accessible online). Blocked theses are not accessible in full text, but metadata (e.g. author or title) is displayed.

Older master’s theses are only available in printed form in the library and can be found using the library’s search engine.
