ABOUT THE COURSE
In addition to a solid basic knowledge of computer science, mathematics and English, the Bachelor's degree course in Information Technologies enables students to specialize in various professional fields. From the very beginning of the course, there are three branches of study to choose from:
- Medical Technology
- Network and communication technology and
- Multimedia Technology
Geoinformation and Environment is only offered on a phased-out basis and no longer starts.
ADVANTAGES
- Wide-ranging education
- Use of comprehensive lecture hall and laboratory infrastructure
- The three branches can be studied in German either full-time or part-time
- From fall 2025, the three majors are also planned in English* full-time
- Three compulsory elective modules to choose from
Elective modules
Due to the almost everywhere available Internet, the desire and the requirement to integrate sensors and sensor systems for the acquisition of measured values into the Internet community is growing. Measured values are no longer classically generated and displayed locally, but stored on servers in the Internet as a data package. One now speaks of machine-to-machine communication, M2M. The data packets are then collected and processed. This process takes place in industry, health care, households - in fact in every sector. The requirements for infrastructure and data security are necessarily increasing.
In the elective module "IoT" these mentioned focal points are analysed and worked out together with students, so that they are able to design, build and verify such contemporary requirements.
Whether mobile communication in everyday life and at work, intelligent use of transport or the control of our homes - we are networked and on the move at the same time. Mobility can increase personal freedom, enhance quality of life and also open up career prospects. In the Mobile Systems Development major, students learn about the latest developments in the field of mobile technologies. In addition to mobile applications (apps), topics such as middleware, architecture and management of mobile systems, digital signal processing, processing of sensor and localization data (GPS, Galileo) and interface design are covered.
The elective subject “Artificial Intelligence” teaches the practical basics of AI. Students learn about simple machine learning methods and their application in areas such as image recognition, language processing and data analysis. The focus is on the use of existing AI tools and their integration into IT systems. Practical exercises help to develop an understanding of the use of AI. In addition, the ethical and social aspects of AI technologies as well as their opportunities and challenges in the IT sector are critically examined.
Location
Starting in the winter semester of 2025, the program will be offered at the Campus Klagenfurt.

Campus & Arrival
Campus Primoschgasse
Klagenfurt combines joie de vivre, nature and culture. The city of just over 100,000 inhabitants on Lake Wörthersee is a recreational area that fulfils every wish. Slovenia and Italy are not far away, the mountains are within reach. Klagenfurt's cultural scene is also vibrant, with clubs, stages and museums. The Old Square with its many shops, restaurants and cafés is the centre of city life. The idyllic Lendkanal connects the city with the lake and, like Kreuzbergl, is a popular destination for amateur sportsmen and nature lovers.
The campus in Primoschgasse has perfect transport connections - a separate bus line stops directly in front of the FH on the Südring. The view from the roof terrace onto the mountain panorama surrounding Klagenfurt offers the perfect space for relaxing breaks.
