Thinking outside the box of your studies. Broaden your prospects and career opportunities. Enhance the Master's degree program with an additional module, making it a "Master's Plus": In concrete terms, this means that students at the University of Graz can spend two semesters working intensively on a future topic of their choice.

There are now six modules: from digitalization and entrepreneurship to peace-building and climate change. There are 24 ECTS points and a certificate.

Communicate - Intervene - Cooperate

A glance at job advertisements shows it: Communicative, team-oriented and conflict-savvy employees are in demand in the working and professional world. The module "Communicate - Intervene - Cooperate" offers the opportunity to expand social-communicative skills during your studies. ► learn more www.uni-graz.at/de/studium/rund-ums-studium/masterstudium-plus/kommunizieren-intervenieren-kooperieren/

Thinking entrepreneurially and implementing ideas

Under the motto "Take action", students in the Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship module learn what it means to found a company, manage and position an organization and act independently and in a solution-oriented manner within a company. ► learn more www.uni-graz.at/de/studium/rund-ums-studium/masterstudium-plus/entre-und-intrapreneurship/

Understanding climate change and its social consequences

Switching to cycling or public transport, saving electricity, avoiding waste, shopping more consciously and much more - climate protection starts at home and affects us all around the globe! In view of the looming climate crisis, sustainable and future-proof solutions are more in demand than ever - and we need more clever minds than ever! ► learn more

Learning to understand and use big data

Digitalization is relevant for many professional groups. In this module, students acquire key digital skills: Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things or Data Visualization. ► learn more

Understanding conflicts and contributing to peace

In the International Peacebuilding and Conflict Transition module, students learn when what kind of peace is possible, what role local circumstances play in conflicts and why they are sometimes exacerbated by external intervention. You will learn how you can contribute to the success of peace. ► learn more

How media and public spheres work

How images, texts, sound and their combinations are used to address people - this is the focus of another module. Students take a practical look at the influence of society, culture and the target audience on the design of content. ► Learn more

The Master's Plus modules are always offered in the summer semester. The application period for the next possible start therefore begins in October 2024.

Elisabeth Staudegger, Head of the ‘Law and IT’ Department at the Institute for Legal Foundations at the University of Graz, host the Academic Standards Day on 16 June. Here she relays how sciences can contribute to the topic of standardisation and reveals her personal favourite standard.

Survival strategies: How plants respond to drought

According to Geosphere Austria, this spring was the driest in Austria since records began around 170 years ago. The low rainfall put particular pressure on the agricultural sector.

We asked Johannes Liesche, a professor at the Department of Biology at the University of Graz, how plants react to water shortages and how they survive periods of drought.
