Application pools
All courses offered are listed in the course information system TISS. Here you will find all information on the individual courses, from the topic, supervisor, ECTS points, compulsory or optional subject to registration and examination modalities and times. Please note the information below on the registration procedure for Design, Theory Modules and Artistic Projects.
Application procedure for design, theory modules and artistic projects
Registration takes place via the application pools in TISS, which allow an application with preference nomination and portfolio upload and a centralised allocation of places.
Please note that the new curriculum applies with immediate effect, in which a new, additional type of design studio with 15 ECTS credits is offered in the Master's programme. As with the Bachelor's design studio, which has also been increased to 15 ECTS credits, these design studios must be completed as individual work and not as group work. Please note that 15 ECTS and 10 ECTS Master's design studios are offered in a joint pool. If you only want to take the 15 ECTS type or only the 10 ECTS type, you should exclude the designs studio of the other type from this pool by selecting the ‘not interested’ option for them
The courses are summarised in the application pools, in which you can choose three preferences from the courses on offer.
The registration period for students via TISS starts on 10.02.2025 (09:00) and ends on 12.02.2025 (23:59) for modules and elective seminars; for design from 14.02. (9:00) to 17.02. (12:00).
From 7.02.2025, short presentation videos of the design courses, elective seminars and modules will be available at the following link: https://colab.tuwien.ac.at/display/PA/Poolbewerbung+Architektur

Frequently asked questions about the design studio application
Please send your 4 favourite designs (ranked from 1st to 4th) to the Jira service portal (https://jira.it.tuwien.ac.at/servicedesk/customer/portal/10).
You can find the application pools at the addresses above, which are only active from the start of the application period.
ATTENTION: If you click on the link to the pools before the start of the application period, TISS will display the error message Requirements not met. Please wait until the start of the enrolment period to check whether you are on the relevant whitelist (see next point).
We recommend that you add the LVAs for which you have applied to your favourites in TISS. You will then find an icon next to the entry to indicate the status of your application.
A portfolio upload is only required for the Design application. In order to be considered for registration via Portfolio, registration with a portfolio upload is required by the end of the application deadline for Entwerfen at the latest.
10 ECTS and 15 ECTS Design Studios are organised in a pool and therefore cannot be taken in parallel. If you only want to take the 15 ECTS type or only the 10 ECTS type, you should exclude the designs studio of the other type from this pool by selecting the option ‘not interested’.’
You will be allocated to the course with the first priority. If more students have registered with their first priority than there are places available, they will be ranked and selected according to their progress (ECTS).
If you are not allocated to your first choice due to your study progress, you will be allocated to the 2nd choice and so on. For the allocation of designs, 2/3 of the places with 1st priority can be registered directly by the lecturers (portfolio registration)
The time of registration or grade point average have no influence on the ranking.
