Engineering - a Future Profession
In today’s dynamic, interrelated and fast developing world we face many exciting opportunities, most of which are only possible because of and greatly supported by engineering – think of global communication, new technologies, products and services as well as disruptive business models. At the same time, many global challenges such as climate change, waste dumping or industry pollution are still increasing but can be tackled through engineering solutions. Be part of the future and help global change happen!
With our international engineering majors in Automotive Mechatronics, Innovation, Sustainable Energy and Electrical Engineering, you’ll broaden your specialized engineering knowledge, focus on sustainability and digitalization and enhance your intercultural skills. At master’s level you develop transfer capabilities which will qualify you for management positions in your area of expertise.

The Innovation and Product Management master’s program, helped me understand the importance customers have in the innovation process. How involving them at the early stages to really understand their needs and therefore be able to develop a product that goes above their expectations is crucial for success.

Austria: in the Heart of Europe
Austria (not Australia!), the country of Mozart, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the “Sound of Music”; skiing nation and home to the famous Sacher chocolate cake. But also a central European hub, a geographical, economic and cultural bridge between East and West in Europe! A small but dynamic country with a thriving economy and innovation and technology leader in many areas. An attractive region seeking engineering talent. Your education destination and the starting point of your career!
The central location in Europe allows close cooperation with European partners and excursions to close-by companies and landmarks. Our European Study FieldTrip after your first year features company visits, exhibitions and major specific points of interests in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and Italy.
Wels: a Student City
Wels is a city situated right in the center of Austria (between Salzburg and Vienna), a dynamic economic location with a rich culture, leisure facilities and great transportation infrastructure. The Wels Castle and the baroque town hall are visible signs of a 2,000 years history.
When the weather warms, the center comes alive with open-air concerts, film festivals and markets. Also in winter there are plenty opportunities: skiing, snow shoe hiking or ice skating. The innovative economic strength of small and medium-sized enterprises in the greater metropolitan area is recognized internationally and forms a basis for industry cooperation.
My highlights from studying at the School of Engineering: the internship, the high-voltage lab, and the friendly on-campus atmosphere. The internship gave me invaluable hands-on experience for my career, which cannot be learned in the classroom.
