Virtual Credit Exchange Programme (VECP) courses
Two courses are available within the VECP – Virtual Credit Exchange Programme, offering students the opportunity to gain international academic experience and earn recognized credits through TU Graz.
The course Project Management in Software Engineering introduces students to how projects operate within companies, covering core project management concepts such as team organization, processes and methods, complexity analysis, risk management, and project planning. The course also addresses key aspects of the system and software engineering process, including requirements specification, effort estimation, time management, and the development of spin-off and business plans.
As part of the course activities, students work in groups on a fictitious software project, applying project management principles and software engineering practices throughout the entire project lifecycle. Designed primarily for Bachelor’s students, the course is also suitable for Master’s students from other disciplines seeking an introduction to software engineering project management.
Academic Cycle: Master's Bachelor's
Course Start Date: 05/03/2026
Course End Date: 19/06/2026
Beginning of Application Period: 16/01/2026
End of Application Period: 10/02/2026

The Microcontroller Design Laboratory is aimed at Master’s students with prior knowledge of processor architectures and hardware description languages. The course focuses on the design and implementation of a modular, pipelined HaDes-V microcontroller based on the open RISC-V architecture, using SystemVerilog. Students develop practical skills in hardware design, simulation and FPGA synthesis, supported by tools such as Verilator and Vivado. Beyond the basic system implementation, students are encouraged to develop innovative extensions and improvements, fostering the ability to independently tackle and advance complex technical systems.
