Programme

The postgraduate MEng program "Membrane Lightweight Structures" prepares postgraduate students to work in the fastidious field of building with membranes, providing a profound knowledge for a qualified activity in architects' and engineers' offices, at implementing companies in the private sector as well as in the public sector. The modular postgraduate program may also form a basis for a further scientific qualification in a following doctoral thesis.

The substantial goal is to provide graduates with adequate tools and an understanding of appropriate technologies in the field of fabric architecture and fabric engineering.

The individual modules are designed in order to raise the awareness for the entire operational sequence from the first sketch up to the realization of membrane architecture. A main target of the program is to qualify graduates to develop projects independently. Participants will also have the opportunity to become part of a unique network of experts. The exchange of information and the long-term co-operation form the basis for a successful career in the field of fabric architecture.

Technology for People – Developing Scientific Excellence and Enhancing Comprehensive Competence

The Vienna University of Technology – located in the heart of Europe and Vienna – is the largest Austrian institution in research and education within the areas of technology and natural sciences. Even though the beginnings of TU Vienna reach back as far as 190 years research, teaching, and learning are state-of-the-art. Today the university finds high international and domestic recognition in teaching as well as in research and is a highly esteemed partner of innovation oriented enterprises.

The TU Vienna offers a wide range of possibilities for studying at the university's eight faculties. Profound expertise and the large pool of specialists active at the TU Vienna in teaching, research and as partners in business and commerce, make interaction among disciplines a prerequisite for maintaining the TU Vienna’s position as one of the best on the international scene. The students get a practice-oriented basic knowledge and have the possibility to participate in research programs. Because of this excellent education graduates of the TU Vienna are quickly employed in industry and business right from the university.

Not only in teaching but also in research the TU Vienna is involved in many different fields: from atomic and particle physics over material physicists, surface science, interface and thin-layer research, plasma technology up to the development of modern production technologies, the research of information and communication technologies and business and investment mathematics. The TU Vienna is also providing impetus for the continuing development of equipment using renewable energy resources. Furthermore the research at TU Vienna is an important contribution to the stimulation of the domestic economy.

In addition the Continuing Education Center of the TU Vienna offers a broad variety of excellent postgraduate programs, e.g. MBA, MSc, and certified programs.
