In the bachelor’s degree program in Systems Engineering, with the two branches of study “Green Electronics” and “Green Mechatronics” planned for autumn 2026, you will design technology for the future – practical, international, and sustainable. Here, creative ideas are combined with technical expertise, modern laboratories with real-world projects, and forward thinking with responsibility.
- Two branches of study: Choose between Green Electronics and Green Mechatronics according to your interests and career goals, from the first semester.
- Flexible study options: Opt for full-time study or part-time study alongside your career – from autumn 2026, also available as a full-time English-language program.
- Broad expertise: Learn to combine electronics, mechatronics, and computer science with sustainability, digitalisation, and energy efficiency.
- Individual specialisation: Set your own priorities in areas such as robotics, automation, or smart technologies through a wide range of electives.
- Modern study environment: Benefit from excellently equipped laboratories, experienced lecturers, and close cooperation with research and industry at the Villach campus.
Think sustainably. Develop in a networked way. Shape the future.
Many people want to make a difference – for the climate, for our future, for a better world. However, real change requires more than good intentions: it needs people who understand how things work – and how to improve them. Those who want to change the world depend on technical understanding and a solid education, because innovative technology creates solutions that truly make a difference – from energy-efficient electronics and recycling robots to sustainable energy systems.
In the bachelor’s program in Systems Engineering, you will learn how ideas become reality. You will gain the knowledge and practical skills to develop concrete projects and solutions from questions – in an interdisciplinary, application-oriented way, always keeping the big picture in mind.
Two branches
Green Electronics combines comprehensive knowledge of electronics with creative engineering thinking. Students learn how circuits, sensors, and embedded systems can be used to create energy-efficient devices and applications, and how technology can be applied sensibly and sustainably. In modules such as Circular Economy, Life Cycle Assessment, and Eco Design, you will learn how electronics are developed responsibly from the outset. In the laboratory, you can experiment independently and implement your own ideas in projects. Elective modules allow you to tailor your studies and explore topics that particularly interest you, such as environmentally friendly electronics development or the functioning of modern embedded systems.
In the Green Mechatronics program, students engage with the mechanical, electronic, and digital fundamentals of modern systems. They receive a thorough introduction to control engineering, dynamics, and industrial automation, and work with models and simulations to analyse dynamic processes and transfer them to real systems. In Embedded Systems, they learn how hardware and software are coordinated. Sustainability forms a unifying framework: through life cycle assessment, eco-design, and circular economy, they learn how technical concepts are planned, evaluated, and implemented throughout their entire life cycle.
