Graz University is a comprehensive university offering more than 100 fields of study 6 faculties (GEWI - Arts & Humanities; SOWI - Business Economics & Social Sciences; REWI - Law; THEOL - Catholic Theology; NAWI - Natural Sciences as well as URBI - Environmental and Regional Sciences and Education).

While Uni Graz does not offer full study fields taught in English, many study fields include an offer of English-taught classes. As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing English-taught classes from a variety of fields of study thus creating an interdisciplinary set of courses to transfer to your home university. Many students also use their semester at Uni Graz to focus on their general requirements rather than core subject courses in their major to broaden the scope of their degree. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available in English.

Popular areas of interest for incoming students are: Austrian civilization and literature, German language, linguistics and literature, English and American studies (language, linguistics and literature), Law, Business and Economics, European studies (including Eastern European studies), History, Languages and Literature, Psychology, Philosophy, Musicology, Education as well as English/German translation.

ISEP students enrolled at Uni Graz may also sign up for courses offered at Technische Universität Graz at no further cost. Students who are co-enrolled at TU Graz must make sure they take 50% of their classes at Uni Graz.

Course Description

Researching courses on an Austrian university homepage can sometimes be difficult and confusing. You can use the ISEP Guide to Course Selection  to find information about navigating a university website, finding courses and some translations of common words and major fields of study.

You can research courses in the UNIGRAZonline course guide:

Uni Graz can accept students with less or no German background provided they find enough English-taught classes to meet their home university's requirements. If you want to take English-taught classes only you can research English-taught classes at Uni Graz via our Search engine for English-taught classes.
