Guided Tour with Study Information

The transition from school to university can be a challenging situation. In order to provide first-year students and students throughout their studies with the best possible support, TU Wien's Student Support offers a wide range of support services. These are available both at the beginning of your studies and in later phases.

During guided tours, participants get to know the TU Wien campus, receive comprehensive information about their studies, and learn about the services and counseling options available to them at the university. They also have the opportunity to talk to counselors and ask individual questions.

This gives them a first glimpse into university life and makes it easier for them to start their studies.

The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes and is free of charge, click here to book an appointment.

Focus topics (optional)

For each campus tour, you can also choose a thematic focus. The following are currently available:

Electrical engineering

The program offered consists of laboratory visits with demos and/or workshops (hands-on) on the subject of electrical engineering.

Examples of events in the past include:

Laboratory tour on the research area of electric drives
“Microsensors - invisible helpers in everyday life”
Demonstration on the Robot Vision research area
A guided tour and demo of the telescope system and precision engineering laboratory

We appreciate your interest in technology, mathematics, tinkering and programming and your interest in our faculty. Students do not need to bring anything except enthusiasm. We are already looking forward to getting to know the next generation of researchers.

If you are interested, please indicate the number of groups and the age of the students, as well as a vague area of interest, so that we can contact the relevant organizing institutes in good time.

Physics

The Physics Faculty has a wide range of exciting laboratories and equipment for experiments.

When you book this additional module, a faculty member will give you a tour of the Freihaus building, where you will see:

an ion beam that generates the solar wind
a high-resolution electron microscope that makes atoms visible
low-temperature facilities (cryostats) for investigating quantum effects in solids
and much more…

We look forward to your visit.

Library

The main library of TU Wien is located in the "building with the owl" on Karlsplatz. For over 200 years, the TU Wien Library has been collecting specialist literature relevant to the technical disciplines studied at TU Wien. The tour will introduce the library building and its various departments.

The library is not only a quiet study space for numerous students, but also a place where you can find 1.5 million print books, more than 330,000 e-books, over 18,000 journals, and 46 databases for research from the past and present.

The second part of the tour will introduce the Data Visualisation Space, or Davis for short. As one of our newest facilities, Davis offers students, faculty, and visitors of TU Wien two different video walls for experimenting with and teaching topics in the field of data visualisation. On the 480x270cm 4K LED wall, participants in the tour experience various immersive VR scenarios from research and teaching, e.g. 3D laser scans of interior and exterior spaces, some of which serve as a virtual backdrop for corresponding architectural designs. On the opposite, touch-sensitive 410x120cm touch wall, participants are informed in an accessible way about relevant activities of university operations at TU Wien through interactive data visualizations. This includes an overview of the topics of theses and their interrelationships, as well as a global view of international collaborations of TU Wien researchers about their joint publications with colleagues from all over the world.
