Studying at TU Wien with the IB

• For the bachelor programmes Architektur, Bauingenieurwesen, Geodäsie und Geoinformation, Maschinenbau, Verfahrenstechnik and Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen-Maschinenbau, at least 4 weekly hours of Darstellende Geometrie (descriptive geometry) after school year 8 must be proven; Geometrisches Zeichnen is not accepted as a substitute.
• If descriptive geometry cannot be proven, a supplementary exam must be passed during the bachelor programme, at the latest before the last bachelor exam; TU Wien offers courses for this.
