High flying careers for a better environment.
This interdisciplinary MSc Program is a joint program of the TU Wien and the Vienna School of International Studies - Diplomatische Akademie Wien, where the first academic year takes place, whereas the second year is located at TU Wien. It is a pioneering project in its combination of international issues and environmental technology.
Over the last few years environmental challenges have taken on a new urgency on a local, regional and global level. In particular, issues regarding the protection and sustainable use of environmental resources have become an existential concern. This puts increasing demands on decision-makers, who require a broad knowledge and understanding of the political, legal, economic and technical issues involved. Everybody concerned, whether as representatives of ministries, international organizations, NGOs or the private sector, has to deal with an ever increasing range of environment related questions.
This postgraduate MSc Program enables graduates to understand and analyze the relevant scientific and technical issues at the same time as providing them with a sound knowledge of international affairs in order to deal with both current and future challenges concerning the environment and sustainable development.

The international community has set itself the ambitious goal of achieving sustainable development. Decision-makers therefore have to have a profound understanding of the legal, economic and technical issues.

Without the ETIA master course I would have never gone into the renewable energy field, I would have never found my passion for wind energy. Thanks to this course, I decided to do an internship in wind energy. Now I work there full time right after my graduation.
Prof. Hans Puxbaum, Academic Director TU Wien
Today environmental issues range from the local to the global scale. International action is required to maintain a sustainable life on our earth.
Victoria Keogh, MSc, Alumna
When I finished my bachelor’s in Mediaeval History, I wanted to do something more STEM-related, but was worried about finding a program, which would accept me and allow me to learn any math or science. Now I am graduating from ETIA with a full-time position at a solar energy company.

The DA campus offers students many opportunities to experience the lively international spirit and multiculturalism, also outside the lecture hall. The garden – with WIFI – or the DA bar are great spots to study and hang out with fellow students in an informal setting.
