Why study Economics & Engineering?

The world of technology is almost limitless: Cars no longer need drivers, robots learn on their own and trains can reach 600 kilometers per hour. But who is supposed to make such cost-intensive technologies suitable for mass production?

This is exactly where the economically savvy technician is needed. Automation must be optimized and finances regulated. Only through leadership qualities can world-changing concepts be realized at all. Be the key to technological progress!

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.

Campus Wels

If you want to shape real sustainability, you need to have expertise in many areas. That's why our Sustainable Solutions course is interdisciplinary from day one. And theory is immediately brought to practical life: concrete projects and real challenges - here we work on meaningful solutions for "the real world". Sustainability experts examine value creation processes in companies, i.e. the path from the development of a product to marketing and recycling. They find and develop opportunities for improvement. In doing so, they have no fear of contact with business administration, technology or aspects of society as a whole, but really flourish in the intersection of disciplines. This makes them sought-after designers of a sustainable future.

Campus Wels

Rapid developments in vehicle engineering have led to a merging of Mechanics, Electronics and Informatics fields. One cause of this is that vehicles meet customer demands through 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. In this context, specific expertise in the mechatronic disciplines, combined with social and business economics competences, will be central requirements of future employees and managers in the motor vehicle industry. Precisely these requirements are the focus of the new master’s degree program, Automotive Mechatronics and Management.
