You develop your knowledge and skills in a vibrant, international environment, whilst learning in small groups to gain the experience for a future job in industry or to follow an academic career.

ISTA is a cross-disciplinary research institution that combines basic science research with graduate education. Our scientists perform theoretical and experimental research in Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Information and System Sciences. ISTA is located on the outskirts of Vienna, Austria.

The Vascular biology PhD program provides training in the basic mechanism of vascular function and coagulation, as well as the physiological and pathological aspects associated with it. Topics include endothelial cell, smooth muscle cell, and platelet biology, angiogenesis, vascular pathologies (incl. atherosclerosis, aneurysms), as well as arterial and venous thrombosis.

The Bachelor's degree in Medical and Bioinformatics (MBI) trains top talent who combine the worlds of computer science, data analysis and natural sciences. These sought-after experts work closely with physicians and biologists to master complex challenges and develop innovative solutions.

The Master of Science programme in Environmental Meteorology and Climate Physics is a double degree jointly offered by the University of Trento and the University of Innsbruck, Austria.

In the RNA Biology PhD track, RNA-based regulatory circuits are explored in silico, in vitro and in vivo with technologies ranging from bioinformatics to biochemistry to imaging. RNAS mediate gene expression but have also regulatory, structural and signaling functions. Consequently, aberrant RNA processing, structure or function affects organismal development and health.

Mobile applications have become indispensable and have a significant impact on our everyday lives, whether in communication or entertainment. But their influence also extends to highly professional services such as finance, mobility and health. The Mobile Computing course prepares students not only to be part of this development, but to actively shape it by mastering the latest technologies and interaction options.

Sustainability, function, safety, design and durability - the right choice of materials makes the difference! Whether it's ultra-modern aircraft and car parts, extremely durable sports equipment, elegant consumer goods or environmentally friendly food packaging - which materials are ideal? How do you manufacture such products and reliably test their quality? How do you design sustainable, resource-efficient production processes? In this practice-oriented course, you will delve deeply into these fascinating questions. You will put your knowledge of chemistry and physics into practice, develop innovative metals, composite materials and plastics and shape the future of sustainable production.

The objective of the PhD Program Medical Physics is to provide excellent training opportunities in the various fields of Medical Physics. This will be achieved by offering students the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects in research teams that are among the international leaders in their fields.

Sustainable chemistry is driving the transformation in the industrial production of chemicals and materials, always aiming for resource efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Expertise in this field positions you for success in an evolving landscape! Our master's degree program in Sustainable Chemistry and Digital Processing responds to this trend with a novel study offering in the field of applied chemistry.

The networking of humans and computers is becoming ever closer because digitalization is advancing in all areas of our lives. In order for the increasingly complex technology behind it to be future-proof and human-friendly, the human-machine interface must be adapted much more closely to human needs. This requires an interdisciplinary approach, which students in the Human-Centered Computing master's program get to know in its entirety.

The Mobile Computing course offers more than just app development, with exciting topics such as automotive computing and smart energy. It is aimed at IT enthusiasts who are looking for practical applicability through exercises, projects and the master's thesis.

The aim of the PhD Program “Molecular Signal Transduction” is to provide outstanding training opportunities for the understanding of the molecular physiology of cellular signal transduction and pathological alterations therein for the students. The program, which in particular covers the fields of physiology and pharmacology, will offer students the opportunity to work with approved scientists on cutting-edge research projects.

The DK-MCCA is dedicated to the fields of molecular, cellular and clinical allergology. MCCA provides PhD-fellowship support for highly qualified students who have elected to pursue their PhD degree in allergology. The program is composed of three tracks dedicated to molecular allergology, cellular allergology and clinical allergology.

In view of rising energy and fuel costs as well as climate change, economical cars and aircraft and their resource-saving production are in demand. Lightweight construction solutions also play an important role in the plant and energy sector (rotor blades in wind energy, masses that need to be moved quickly) and in the sports sector (bicycles, skiing, tennis, boat building, motorsports). Lightweight construction is a key technology for the challenges of the future!
