Climate protection needs broad acceptance

What do we have to do today to live in a climate-friendly future tomorrow? In January 2022, 100 citizens from all parts of the population came together in the Austrian Climate Council to answer this question. Six months later, they presented their 93 recommendations to the federal government. "Even if many of them have not yet been taken up, the Climate Council was an enormously important project that continues to have an impact," says Birgit Bednar-Friedl, environmental economist at the University of Graz. Together with Georg Kaser from the University of Innsbruck, she chaired the scientific committee that accompanied the citizens on the Climate Council.

Why active citizen participation is important for a functioning democracy

Voiceless: how politics could better integrate non-austrians.

It is a super election year, but almost a fifth of people over the age of 16 living in Austria are only allowed to have a limited say. This can jeopardise democracy, warns political scientist Katrin Praprotnik.

Doktoratsstudium PhD Law and Politics

Was sie im doktoratsstudium phd law and politics erwartet und was sie für die zulassung beachten müssen, das erfahren sie hier..

Beginn des Seitenbereichs: Unternavigation:

The Doctoral Programme (PhD) Law and Politics provides young academics with an exceptional education on a high international level. It brings together research and teaching in law and politics on a doctoral level, combining subjects and disciplines. Doctoral students tackle new academic questions independently in their doctoral thesis. They generate new knowledge at the interface between questions that can be better researched through the lens of law and politics, extending their methodological competences in the subject of their doctoral thesis. During the doctoral programme, students learn to independently discuss current questions in the disciplines and to implement them in concrete research projects in order to successfully participate in academic discourse by contributing their own independent research work. To make this possible, doctoral students are taught a comprehensive understanding of theories during their degree, as well as methodological competences needed for academic work between and with different disciplines. By developing a critical and reflective manner of thinking, students are also prepared to formulate recommendations for improvements to public policies.

Find further information on the website of the Centre for Southeast European Studies.

Admission to the PhD programme in Law and Politics is subject to an admissions process. This consists of a written application, which will be evaluated and ranked by the selection committee. Admission therefore requires the applicant to be awarded a study place by virtue of the ranking process for the relevant year of study, and to meet the academic requirements.

For further information, please contact the programme coordination:

Centre for Southeast European Studies Schubertstrasse 21/1, 8010 Graz e-mail: phd.law-politics(at)uni-graz.at

Scientists within the Field of Excellence play an important part in different, interdisciplinary as well as disciplinary Master programs at the University of Graz:

Master Programmes in Environmental and Regional Sciences

In this degree programme you will learn about relevant aspects of the specialist geographical disciplines of geomorphology, climatology and hydrology and how they are interconnected (integrative geography).

You study to understand the climate system, the connected risks of climate change for ecosystems and societies, and how we can transform towards carbon-neutral and climate resilient societies choosing a clear focus in either natural or social sciences while learning to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries.

What makes the study programme Environmental Systems Sciences / Sustainability and Innovation Management unique is the combination of sustainability and innovation management topics.

In this degree programme you will learn about the theory and practice of cartography, remote sensing, geographical information systems and location-based services for the modelling, analysis and interpretation of processes that have an impact on places.

You will gain broad insights into individual areas of globalisation and development and choose a specialisation appropriate to your subject focus in business administration and/or economics, emphasising aspects of sustainability and business ethics.

This study programme explores the creation and optimisation of technologies for sustainable development, and implementation of circular economy concepts at company, local, regional, national and international levels.

This study programme teaches the basics of sustainable development and, depending on the content of your first degree, you can specialise in areas such as corporate sustainability management, climate change, environmental economics, environmental change and ecosystems, or global development policy.

In this degree programme you will study selected socio-economic transformation processes and relationships between human society and the environment, specifically in towns and regions, from a social sciences perspective.

On the master’s programme, you will acquire subject-specific knowledge that will equip you to look at issues relating to sustainable development, reducing risks and improving livelihoods in the human-environment system from a geographical perspective and incorporating interdisciplinary methods as well as those from systems science.

Master Programmes in Natural Science

This programme provides a comprehensive introduction to materials and their characteristics, composition, function and diverse applications in practically every sphere of modern engineering and technology.

In this master’s programme, you will expand and enhance your knowledge of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and also of synthetic chemistry.

An important feature of the master’s programme are legal aspects of handling chemical compounds, running processes and plants.

In this degree programme you will investigate the formation and structure of the Earth and life on it, and the safeguarding and use of natural resources.

Biodiversity is an important resource for Planet Earth. The master’s programme explains how biodiversity is created (evolution), how it works (ecology) and what it is being threatened by.

The main content of the study programme includes the structure and workings of ecosystems as well as biotic and abiotic interactions and symbiotic life strategies.

You may specialise in Climate and Atmospheric Physics. In addition to a well grounded education in physics you you will investigate the fundamental laws of atmospheric, oceanic and climate dynamics, modeling and observation of climate variability and changes.

This master’s programme will provide you with a technical and scientific grounding in physics, geodesy, electrical engineering, and environmental systems sciences, as well as a sound education in the space sciences and their applications.

The master’s programme covers a wide range of topics including renewable resources, macromolecular chemistry, plastics technology, surface and interface technology, technologically significant materials, and energy storage materials.

Master Programmes in Humanities, Social and Economic Sciences and Law

Combining theory with practice, issues concerning politics, economics and law are addressed and scrutinised from a philosophical angle.

This master’s programme will give you a sound training in political and economic theory on which to base empirical work and make recommendations on economic policy issues. It covers a broad spectrum of topics including environmental and climate economics.

The master’s programme in Environmental Systems Sciences/Economics provides you with an interdisciplinary approach to topical questions connected with climate change and its consequences.

Master's module

The module “Climate change and sustainable transformation” offers you a scientifically based additional training that prepares you for a green job, no matter in which field – economic, legal, financial, social or creative.

Doctorate/PhD studies

The aim of the Doctoral Program in Natural Sciences is to impart the ability to independent scientific work beyond the academic professional training and to bring students to the forefront of current research in Natural Sciences of the University Graz by independently achieving new findings. The doctoral program thus serves to train the next generation of scientists.

The doctoral program in Social and Economic Sciences is scientifically oriented and serves to prepare students to contribute to the development of science through independent research and to develop scientific and research personalities capable of critical reflection, objective discourse and holistic thinking.

The Doctoral Programme of Natural Science – Faculty of Environmental and Regional Sciences and Education teaches and fosters a theoretical understanding and methodological skills in academic working in the field of the natural sciences.

This interdisciplinary doctoral programme teaches and fosters theoretical understanding and methodological skills for academic work at the intersection of various different disciplines.

The Doctoral Program in Philosophy enables students to conduct independent and innovative scientific work in the form of a dissertation. In doing so, doctoral students are to be introduced to research in the humanities at an international level through the independent acquisition of new scientific knowledge.

Doctoral students extend and enhance their theoretical and methodological expertise and skills in the field of law. In their doctoral thesis, which may also address an interdisciplinary topic, they work independently to explore new academic questions.

The PhD programme in Law and Politics brings together research and teaching of law and political science, combining subjects and disciplines from both areas, at the doctoral level.

... illuminates an incredible number of aspects of human life ... teaches critical and methodical thinking ... ensures an outstanding general education ... and is also fun. Most of the time.

And yes, of course you can become a lawyer or a judge. Or an environmentalist, sports manager, film producer; but also a children's book author, a news anchor or almost anything that requires bright minds.

• Is this degree programme right for you?

What will help you to succeed?

• an interest in socio-political issues
• a high level of expressiveness, also in writing

What really matters in a degree programme

To be honest: a degree programme is only as good as the teachers and lecturers are. That is why we at REWI University of Graz place the highest value on personalities who have an international background, who possess a broad spectrum of teaching methods and who are very close to practical application. Only this way can we make sure that we fully live up to our university's motto: "We work for tomorrow".

Doctoral programme

• Career prospects

Why law graduates are welcome everywhere

The core legal professions such as lawyer, judge and notary public are well known. But there is a reason why law graduates are in great demand in a multitude of settings and in the most diverse companies and institutions: Their thinking has depth, their performance is "academically tested" and their interests are so broad that all industries are open to them. That’s our promise to you.

• Admission process

The law degree programme at University of Graz enjoys a high reputation and, thus, is in great demand. In order to be able to ensure this high standard, we have decided to restrict enrolment. But don't worry: for bright minds with a fair amount of common sense, this first check should be nothing but a routine matter.

The admission process takes place only once a year, for enrolment in the winter and summer semesters of the relevant academic year.

Admission process     Latin

Note on Latin

During your diploma you will need to show evidence of Latin language skills (10 hours per week in the sixth form or supplementary examination). This is required to be able to take the module "Vertiefung Privatrecht" in the 4th semester.
