I M P O R T A N T: We are happy to host Bachelor and Masterstudents of all curriculae of the TU Wien (and external students as well). However, if you are a Bachelor student of Architecture and plan to take this course, and consider to later (in the Master Architecture Programme) taking the Modul Building Ecology, please note that you then SHOULD NOT use the course as a transferable skill or free elective for your Bachelor, as you otherwise are excluded from taking the Master Modul Building Ecology. The course CAN NOT be used twice (as you would violate the 180 + 120 ects rule then), and in case you plan any "circumnavigation" to still take Modul Building Ecology, please be informed that this has to be discussed and confirmed by the Dean of Study-Team (and this has to be done PRIOR to any registration). Please thus avoid to catch yourself in this trap.
