From laser technologies to sensors in everyday appliances or high-performance motors in industry - we encounter electronics and photonics in all areas of life. The innovative Bachelor's degree programme in Applied Electronics and Photonics at Burgenland University of Applied Sciences is unique in Austria and trains experts for the Austrian electronics industry - currently the second largest industrial employer and the most research-intensive sector in Austria.
Who is the programme aimed at?
The Bachelor's degree programme in Applied Electronics and Photonics is suitable for people with an affinity for technology who are looking for a professional challenge in a growing market. Individual support is guaranteed during the programme. In addition, voluntary support courses are offered right from the start of the programme for people with no previous technical or scientific knowledge.
What are the main subjects of the degree programme?
In addition to a generalist basic education in the fields of applied electronics and photonics, physics, mathematics, computer science and quality management, the degree programme offers numerous specialisations, for example in module and circuit board development, sensor measurement technology, digital and communication technologies, laser measurement technology and optoelectronics.
The programme also offers an introduction to the latest industrial technologies: LiDAR, additive manufacturing, optoelectronics, laser technology, fibre optics, sensor electronics and microcontrollers.
Part-time degree programme for working professionals
The extra-occupational form of organisation with attendance at the Pinkafeld Study Centre on Friday afternoons and Saturdays is attractive for working people. The programme lasts six semesters and concludes with the academic degree Bachelor of Science in Engineering - BSc. It is also possible to study part-time for an extended period. The language of instruction is German. There are no tuition fees.
A high level of practical relevance is ensured by numerous excursions and practical projects that are integrated into the programme.
The use of an interactive Lab@Home provides flexibility for students who are already working: students receive an experiment kit for use at home at the start of their studies. This means that practically relevant courses can also be completed via distance learning.
