This course will be interesting for me if…
- I am interested in finding solutions to technical issues.
- I enjoy working with mathematical content.
- I like to solve problems and think in a networked fashion.
- I enjoy continually expanding my knowledge.
What will I learn during the course?
The study program in the area of information technology consists of two technical courses: the “Informationstechnik” (Information Technology) Bachelor studies and the “Information Technology” Master studies in English. Consecutively studying the two courses will provide, on the basis of mathematical and technical principles, the knowledge, proficiency and methods necessary in this field. Alongside a broad general knowledge, skills can be improved in one or more areas of specialization of information technology. Fields to choose from include applied mechatronics, control and measurement systems, communications engineering and signal processing systems, intelligent transportation systems, media engineering, mobile systems and pervasive computing. The range of courses, laboratories, team projects and industrial internships highlights the practical relevance of the study programs offered. The technical content can be rounded out with non-technical subjects, herewith further enhancing competency and reinforcing professionally significant soft skills.
What makes studying at the University of Klagenfurt unique?
The study program is internationally oriented and all courses are held in English. Moreover, the technical studies at Klagenfurt feature an outstanding student-teacher ratio. Depending upon individual career aspirations, talents and future plans of each student, the following specializations are available in the study program: the research track, which prepares students for a career in academic i.e. industrial research, the industrial track, which prepares students for a career in industry, and the entrepreneurship track, which conveys knowledge of business management and entrepreneurial skills for the possible founding of one’s own company. The industrial track enables students to gain experience working for companies and to apply their knowledge to problems of a professional nature. This eases the entry into working life after university, as some companies see the industrial track as a probationary period, and often offer a permanent position on completion. Graduates are enabled to contribute independently and conscientiously to the solution of technical problems without neglecting the overall perspective, that is to say, also including disciplines not related to information technology in their solution concepts if necessary.
What are my career options after finishing the Master studies?
Graduates of Information Technology are ideally qualified for tasks in diverse industrial branches such as electronics, information and signal processing, communication technology, automotive systems, automation technology, medical technology, transport etc. plus branches that tend to call for more software-supported information processing, for instance knowledge-based systems, specialized information systems and expert systems. Information technicians are experts in their particular areas of focus yet at the same time possess broad expertise and knowledge of methodology in the field of information and communication technology. This allows them to develop new solutions for technical problems with precision. As executive managers they are in a position to lead development teams as well as complex projects.
