Architecture is much more than just designing buildings; it shapes our environment and our daily lives. The Bachelor's degree in Architecture at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria offers the opportunity to specialize individually for later professional life. Particular emphasis is placed on technical competence, sustainability and practical training.

Mechanical engineering is omnipresent in our modern world. We travel in cars, trains or airplanes. All of our consumer goods are manufactured using manufacturing and production machines, etc. All of these machines are designed, developed and optimized by mechanical engineers who use the most modern methods of calculation, CAD, materials science, thermodynamics or simulation for their creative work. Mechanical engineering graduates are therefore in high demand, especially in the industrial state of Upper Austria.

Industrial engineers are highly sought after because they master technical and economic challenges and implement their solutions directly. As experts in their fields, they make a significant contribution to the success of the companies they work for. The varied course of study prepares students specifically for management positions. They are the central contact persons for project employees, customers, suppliers and authorities and are therefore indispensable pillars of their employers. Students specialize in a specialist field and at the same time acquire a broad overview of knowledge that gives them an excellent starting position for their careers.

Process engineering brings physical and chemical principles into industrial practice to produce solid, liquid and gaseous substances. Process engineers design and optimize the systems and processes required for this. They control physical, chemical and biological processes, crush, mix, modify, separate and clean raw materials to create new products. Whether it is about ensuring that tablets contain the right amount of active ingredients, perfectly mixing yogurt ingredients, creating lipsticks or producing fuels and building materials - their expertise makes the difference. With their know-how, they also ensure environmentally friendly and energy-efficient production processes.

Civil engineers are experts in buildings - from planning to construction, from renovation to demolition. They plan, construct, monitor, they take on managerial and coordinating roles within construction teams and they learn to evaluate their designs and constructions mathematically using the latest technologies - both in the areas of safety and functionality as well as in terms of costs. With the help of building physics knowledge and knowledge in the field of building technology and building automation, civil engineers optimize new and existing building structures.

Graduates of the Bio- and Environmental Engineering degree program are involved in various current topics. The course offers a unique combination of science and technology to address the challenges of our time and develop sustainable solutions.

This course provides an understanding of nutrition and the scientific and technical aspects of food production. Graduates are able to develop high-quality, healthy and sustainably produced foods.

Sustainability, function, safety, design and durability - the right choice of materials makes the difference! Whether it's ultra-modern aircraft and car parts, extremely durable sports equipment, elegant consumer goods or environmentally friendly food packaging - which materials are ideal? How do you manufacture such products and reliably test their quality? How do you design sustainable, resource-efficient production processes? In this practice-oriented course, you will delve deeply into these fascinating questions. You will put your knowledge of chemistry and physics into practice, develop innovative metals, composite materials and plastics and shape the future of sustainable production.

Green Science tackles global challenges such as climate change, sustainability, circular economy, waste management, soil erosion, and industrial pollution. This unique program allows international students to start their academic careers in the English language while acquiring German language skills to start their professional careers in the Austrian job market.

New products do not come to life by coincidence or spontaneous flashes of inspiration. They require innovation, product & engineering managers who find ideas tailored to customer requirements, evaluate and select them correctly, and support their successful implementation. Their work is the key to success, and their creative minds are therefore in great demand in companies. They work at the interfaces between marketing, design and technology – turning ideas into successful products.

This degree enables you to develop high-performance car-, aircraft- or spacestructures, sports equipment, durable and perfectly shaped consumer goods up to innovative environmentally friendly food packaging. Lightweight design and materials engineering make a decisive contribution to achieving climate, resource, and sustainability goals.

In an era defined by rapid technological advancements, smart engineering integrates the latest technology with traditional engineering principles to design solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and groundbreaking and thus become the foundation of modern society. Robotics and automated production are key enabling technologies for the next decade and require a sound academic qualification.

Energy generation and transmission, heat supply, industrial processes, building technology and energy efficiency: the entire energy industry is undergoing a transformation process towards an efficient overall system based on renewable energies (solar, wind, water, biomass). Future engineers need to think “outside the box” in order to successfully solve the problems of the energy transition.

The Agricultural Technology degree program enables students to tackle agricultural challenges through innovation and sustainability. They can reduce environmental impacts and protect biodiversity through environmentally friendly practices.

Automation technology is essential for modern living and working environments. The course provides interdisciplinary knowledge and in-depth insights into digitalization and production design. Graduates are optimally prepared for everyday working life.
