Climate-Responsive Building Technologies
New Master’s degree program: start 2024/25.
The application deadline for applicants within the EU is May 31, 2025, for applicants outside the EU March 31, 2025.
Become an expert for sustainable and resilient buildings
The private building sector is currently responsible for about 29% of the final energy demand in Austria, 43% of this energy comes from fossil fuels. In order to drive the expansion of local and district heating and achieve the goal of a climate-neutral Austria by 2040, it is necessary to construct energy-flexible and at the same time energy-saving buildings. And to meet the demand for skilled workers, a denser supply is needed.
Background
The master’s degree in climate-conscious building technology will start in the winter semester of 2024/25 and will be offered as a dual degree program. The application takes place exclusively at the UAS Technikum Wien. The first semester starts in the first weeks at the UAS Technikum Wien. Before and during this phase, the application process starts at the partner companies for the professional practice phases. The second half as well as the rest of the study program is then conducted alternately at the UAS Technikum Wien and the partner companies in order to establish a practical connection to the theory.
„The study program imparts holistic thinking for sustainable and
resilient buildings. The dual form of study deepens the practical relevance.“
