Key subject areas

Electronic Systems

During the course, you will gain deeper insight into the functioning of embedded systems. You will also learn how to combine hardware and software in a user-friendly manner. You will gain expertise in using the latest methods of hardware development such as advanced packaging – an ultra-compact mounting technology. To give you the best possible start to your career, you will use recognised electronics CAD tools such as Altium Designer. We will also provide you with the expertise you require in the field of combined processor/FPGA platforms.

Specialisations

Our course offers particular subject areas which are oriented to the needs of industry. You will acquire specialist knowledge in various fields such as power electronics, for instance, with its various applications in electrical energy conversion. This covers efficient solar inverters, high-dynamic power amplifiers for testing systems as well as charging units for electric and hybrid vehicles.

Power Electronics

The focus in this area is on green mobility and renewable energies. The core of your training will be based on the design and development of efficient power electronic components and their application in resource-saving systems.

Automotive Control

Here the focus is on embedded software and its application in automotive electronics such as driver assistance systems and drive controls. This expertise is in particular high demand at regional companies.

Study mode, self-study and attendance

Additional Topics

The course also covers many other up-to-date issues, such as:

• Drivetrain electrification including battery and fuel cells
• Driver assistance systems
• Autonomous driving
• Sensor technology and digital communication and control systems

This wide range of topics will make it easier for you to enter the world of work after completing your Master’s course.

Innovative technology projects

Electronic engineering is a fast-paced field. At our research department, students are offered insight into the latest industrial development and production processes. Our graduates are ideally equipped to pursue a successful career in Austria or abroad on the solid basis of our multi-faceted training at the cutting edge of technology.

Student projects

The class schedule for the course has been purposely fixed as a three-weekday block to allow our students to work in a firm alongside their studies or to pursue their own research in our Research and Development Centre. Such activities make an important contribution to the practical training which forms an integral part of the Electronics and Computer Engineering course. We are more than happy to support our students in their choice of suitable companies and organisations.

The advantages of following a part-time course of study include insights into problem-solving in industry, practical experience of the world of work and the opportunity to get to know potential future employers.

Our own R&D centre offers the possibility to work in projects like:
