Career Prospects

Industries

With their knowledge, graduates are perfectly trained for the power electronics, sustainable energy technology, system control, electronics development, sensor technology and circuit technology sectors. Other subject areas include control and automation technology, industrial electronics, drive technology, energy supply and high-voltage technology.

Roles

For example, you can work as an electronics developer, application engineer, measurement technician, energy technician, mechatronics technician for electrical engineering and automation, production engineer or circuit board designer.

Tasks

Graduates are employed in areas such as the development and testing of electronic circuits, project management, quality assurance, sales or administration. They qualify for special management tasks in companies and can, for example, lead project teams.

Requirements

Master’s degree programs build on a completed bachelor’s degree program and allow students to specialize or focus on topics in more detail or to expand their existing expertise.

You must meet subject-matter requirements to be admitted to the Power Electronics and Sustainable Energy Technology master’s degree program. Prerequisites include a bachelor’s degree from a UAS in a relevant subject matter or an equivalent degree from a recognized post-secondary educational institution (at least 180 ECTS credits) in Austria or another country.

If basic equivalence has been established except for a few missing prerequisites, the program director can require students to take exams to establish full equivalence. These exams are taken during the master’s program.
