What does sustainability mean to you? Today, sustainability is the key needed in order to make the necessary improvements in energy supply, and more specifically in terms of energy utilisation and consumption. Natural resources are being depleted and are undergoing more complex procurement procedures, therefore creating the need to have a specialised understanding in the field of...

This program provides a comprehensive education in Mechatronics, Business Economics and Marketing, complemented by the know-how delivered in two specializations, namely "Product Concept Design" and "Development Process Engineering". It is taught by experienced experts from industry who are up-to-date with the latest trends and developments, ensuring a modern and future-orientated program.

Rapid developments in vehicle engineering have led to a merging of the fields of Mechanics, Electronics and Informatics. One cause of this is that vehicles meet customer demands by the optimal interplay of various mechanical and electronic components. Many functions in the areas of comfort, safety and efficiency are only made possible by mechatronic systems.

Students learn the perfect combination of technical knowledge and economic and legal expertise to successfully implement plant construction projects as a project manager. It trains students to manage comprehensive projects and monitor cost management, schedules, performance guarantees and the coordination of various specialist departments and subcontractors.

Mechanical engineering is a tried and tested course of study that is in tune with the times with its many modern trends such as simulation, lightweight construction and bionics. The development of ever lighter and at the same time highly stressed components in automobiles, aircraft or in the manufacturing or plant industry requires the use of sophisticated, innovative calculation, simulation and analysis methods. This course of study opens the door to the fascinating world of modern mechanical engineering research and development.

Due to the increasingly dynamic and complex environmental conditions, the tasks in companies in the mechatronics sector are constantly changing and the need for interdisciplinary industrial engineers is therefore constantly increasing. This is where this degree program comes in and offers working experts advanced professional qualifications in selected areas of mechatronics, agile management and business administration.

Robotics has become an indispensable part of the current production world and is also leading to disruptive developments and enormous advances in other sectors such as agriculture or medical technology. But robotics is only half the story. In order to develop an intelligent system, not only the machine itself but also the latest sensor technology and a great deal of information technology are required.

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!

The economical, ecological, sustainable and targeted use of materials and their efficient processing represent a key competitive factor for Austrian industry. In view of the increasing quality requirements in production and the use of new materials, there is an increasing need for skilled workers who are familiar with the specific requirements for processing and applying these materials. The required quality of many products can only be achieved through appropriate processing techniques and their specific effects on the material properties.

Renewable energy sources have long since made the leap out of their niche. But despite the innovative and sustainable technologies available, progress is not fast enough to achieve our climate protection goals. We must continue to increase our efforts to ensure a successful energy transition. We cannot postpone the necessary steps any longer - it is high time to act decisively.

The Master's degree program in Civil Engineering in Building Construction enables a complete university education in the field of civil engineering with a focus on building construction. In addition to extensive, in-depth training in building construction, students are offered elective subjects (two elective subject groups).

The Master's degree course in Bio- and Environmental Engineering focuses on deepening technical and scientific expertise in bio- and environmental engineering through specialization in one of the two subject areas. The focus of the training is on environmental process engineering, environmental biotechnology, bioenergy production, plant planning and technology, bioanalysis of biologically active substances and the determination of the availability of these substances in the human body, and quality management.

Food technology is an interdisciplinary, technological field with closely interlinked areas of knowledge. The focus is on the new and further development of technologies and products. The conservation of natural resources, process optimization and production efficiency are the driving forces in the food industry in order to be able to offer the healthiest possible products at competitive prices and at the same time the highest possible quality.

The master's degree in automation technology is an interface between digitalization and industrial innovation, which allows individual specialization through elective courses. Students acquire comprehensive skills in the planning, manufacture and optimization of machines, systems and processes, including the handling of the latest technologies.

New technologies such as electric cars or renewable and ecological power supply systems require fundamental research in electrical (energy) engineering. DC grids (used in batteries, hydrogen systems, or to distribute and transport electrical energy in an environmentally friendly way with cable grids), electric cars, and power electronics are the latest technologies aiming to provide a green and environmentally friendly energy supply. Introducing intelligence (SMART technology) into our power supply reduces costs as well as increases reliability and accessibility for the end consumer. In a nutshell, this program will educate the pioneers needed to make the electrical energy supply future-proof. They will be pioneering the future!
