Curriculum

Practical Experience and Research

Students will spend approximately 50% of the class time in labs and skills practice classes, preparing them for hands-on application of their acquired theoretical knowledge. Additionally, a strong cooperation with local industry enables our students to obtain real-world experience during their project work and mandatory internship. Students are also invited to join in R&D activities at the University in the form of student projects or as research assistants. Electrical storage systems, PV systems, e-mobility, power electronics, high voltage and high current engineering, switching devices and lightning protection are a few examples of the areas of principle interest.

FAQs

Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the degree programme.

Why study in Austria?

Situated in the heart of Europe, Austria offers great variety concentrated in a small area. Austria offers you a broad spectrum of educational opportunities – not to mention great social security, economic stability and the great hospitality of the Austrians. This is why Austria is an ideal place for studying and living! Take a look.

I did my schooling in English. Do I really need a English language certificate?

Please note that we have a very strict policy for English proficiency proof. Unless you are American, British or Australian we require a English language certificate. We do not accept letters from previous schools or universities stating that your high school or undergraduate programme was completed in English.

Applicants are required to submit the following: TOEFL IbT minimum score of 78 points or academic IELTS - min overall score of 6.0. No exceptions!

Do you offer scholarships for international students?

We only offer a merit based performance scholarships for international students as of the 2nd semester. These scholarships award students with a 1x contribution of 1 semester tuition fees. Further information on other international scholarships (these are though scholarships that are not offered by the FH, therefore we can not assist with application etc.) can be found here.

Is a transfer from another university possible?

Please note that we very seldomly accept transfer students into higher semesters due to the technical and practical nature of our degree programme, with the first year being the most essential given that the courses are designed to build on each other, so it is absolutely important to have a solid knowledge base. Unfortunately not many universities offer such a practical focused approach, and most likely do not cover the same courses as our curriculum.

You will be required to apply via our application portal and include your transcripts from your current studies, module descriptions as well as detailed curriculum of the degree which you are currently studying. Our head of studies will then review these to access if a transfer is possible. You will most likely have to repeat some courses, other courses may be credited.
