The broadly defined areas of “Sustainable Economy” (26%) and “Energy” (21%) account for almost half of the curricula focus areas. The top four are completed by “Buildings” (15 percent) and “Interdisciplinary” (13 percent). The universities TU Graz, Uni Graz and Montanuni Leoben each offer more than ten courses.

 

Green skills ensure competitiveness
