Information for Students

Course / Lecture Recommendations

To complete the studies to achieve your PhD, you need to acquire 18 ECTS at TU Wien. At the University of Vienna, 24 ECTS are required. Here, we provide a (continuously updated) list of possible course you could take to fullfil those requirements:

Winter 2022/2023 (current semester)

This semster, the second part of the “TACO Ringvorlesung” (lecture series) will take place at the Univeristy of Vienna with all university-based subprojects introducing their work. This is highly recommended for TACO students, but can, of course, be visited by all interested parties. A detailed program will be provided.

Atomistic materials modelling – electronic structure methods, statistical mechanics and machine learning (lecture series) by Georg Kresse, Christoph Dellago, and Cesare Franchini

Further recommendations:

Avanced Electronic Structure, lecture by Cesare Franchini and Georg Kresse at University of Vienna
Avanced Electronic Structure, practical exercises by Cesare Franchini and Georg Kresse at University of Vienna
Lab-Course: Computational Quantum Mechanics, lab-course by Georg Kresse, Cesare Franchini, and Michele Reticcioli at University of Vienna
Surface Science, lecture by Ulrike Diebold at TU Wien

Previous Runs of the "TACO Ringvorlesung"

In summer semster 2022, the first part of the “TACO Ringvorlesung” (lecture series) took place at the TU Wien with all TU-based subprojects introducing their work. This was highly recommended for TACO students, but was, of course, open for all interested parties. You can find the detailed program here.
