12 Engineering Master's Degree Programs in Austria

As industrial computer scientists, you play a central role in the industrial landscape with your ability to combine various technical disciplines. If you are ready to push the boundaries of technology and shape a future characterized by innovation and technology, then the Industrial Informatics & Robotics master's program is the key to turning your passion into reality. You will acquire a profound understanding of the applications of computer science and information technologies, software and systems engineering as well as mechatronics and robotics in an industrial environment or for the implementation of smart everyday systems.

The Master's degree program in Environmental, Process, and Energy Engineering provides comprehensive knowledge to design both existing plants and new concepts in a sustainable manner. Graduates have excellent career opportunities in the field of "Green Technologies". Economic and law topics taught in the curriculum round out the master's program from a fundamentally sound and international perspective.

The international Master's degree programme Medical Engineering equips the students for engineering innovative medical devices. Furthermore students gain information how to place them into markets.

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).

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.

The master's degree program in Mechatronics - Smart Technologies provides the necessary methodological skills in the fields of electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science and smart technologies to later fill top management positions in international companies in the automotive industry, special machine engineering, semiconductor technology and many more. Future-oriented topics such as:

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.

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.

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.

The Master’s degree in Game Studies and Engineering at the University of Klagenfurt is an interdisciplinary program, instructing students on technical as well as analytical and ethical issues regarding video games and other games.

The Master’s degree program Information and Communications Engineering at the University of Klagenfurt builds on and develops skills acquired in the course of a Bachelor’s degree, like Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, Telematics, Robotics, or Informatics.
