Network and Communication Technology - Study Program
Bachelor Degree Program Information Technologies

Creating structures for a modern world

Everything is sparking. Increasing networking is the defining characteristic of the digital world in which we live today. Nothing works anymore without the exchange of information, whether between people or machines. Network & Communication Engineering provides the necessary connections: it creates the basic structures without which our modern world today could no longer function.

From software development to network technology

The course of study therefore focuses on a comprehensive view of the department. The curriculum includes software development as well as classical network technology. The unstoppable trend towards more mobile communication is taken into account by teaching app development. At the same time, students learn the necessary basic technical knowledge: Electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics and physics are indispensable components of the daily practice of Network & Communication engineers.

 

You work in an environment that has to deal with rapid technological change - hardly any other area of technology produces innovations at shorter intervals that are of importance to billions of users worldwide. Speed is increasingly at the heart of the exchange of data, and technological leaps in this regard have changed our everyday lives time and again. The latest mobile communications standard, 5G, is only just beginning its triumphal procession and will be a defining factor for a large number of economic sectors. Network & Communication Engineering students are at the forefront of discovering these new possibilities.

But you are also concerned with other innovative topics such as optical fibre networks, signal processing, network engineering and artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to conventional network structures, future software-based network engineering architectures (Software Defined Networking, SDN for short) are also dealt with. And students can specialize their interests in specialization units: Data Science, Mobile Systems Development or Internet of Things (IOT) are available here. With additional content such as business administration, foreign languages and project management, the program ensures that future Network & Communication Engineering specialists will also find their way around the professional world.

Entry into a higher semester for HTL graduates

HTL graduates can shorten their bachelor's degree by up to one year if they have passed selected entrance examinations before starting their studies and have completed a relevant HTL. The entry requirement for the 3rd semester is a grade point average of 2 or better in the last two annual reports (4th and 5th grade) of the HTL.

Entry into the 2nd semester is possible on an individual basis after reviewing the documents.

Study + Work

Study & Work - is that possible?

With over 80 Study & Work partner companies and organizations, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers students of a bachelor's or master's degree program the opportunity to combine their studies with a career.

This attractive offer gives students the chance to immediately put theoretical knowledge into practice and gain professional experience in Carinthia's leading companies.

Profile

"Network & Communication Engineering" is a bachelor's program that provides a universal basic education for the requirements of an increasingly digitalized world. The course combines the fields of telecommunications, computer science and networked systems and deals with current technical innovations such as the Internet of Things (IOT), the mobile phone standard 5G or artificial intelligence (AI).

The skills students acquire during their studies are diverse and range from software development, network engineering and database administration to technical project management, network equipment and IT device development. In a constantly growing industry, graduates of Network & Communication Engineering have excellent job prospects with enormous career potential.

However, the course of study also offers an entry into the academic-technical world and serves as a good basis for a further master's degree or for taking up research activities. Students can specialise their knowledge with in-depth electives starting in the third semester, while the professional internship in the sixth semester builds a first bridge to the business world.

What students should bring to their studies:

  • A fundamental interest and enjoyment in scientific and technical subjects.
  • A creative personality who enjoys innovative developments.
  • Logical thinking skills combined with a good command of English.
  • Curiosity and the ability to work independently.

Concrete previous knowledge is not necessary for the Bachelor's degree in Information Technology. Therefore, students from all types of schools can start with this course of study after the Matura if they bring the appropriate interest and willingness to perform. In order to facilitate the start of studies, the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers intensive courses in mathematics, computer science and physics. Missing university entrance qualifications can be compensated by relevant professional qualifications and attendance of the pre-study course.

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.

Villach

The Villach region combines tradition, cosmopolitanism and quality of life with the advantages of an innovative business location. Villach, a small town with about 60,000 inhabitants, is an international high-tech location with groundbreaking cooperation between science and industry and is also increasingly developing into a start-up town.

Situated directly at the intersection of three cultures, Villach, situated on the Drava river, is an important traffic junction in the Alps-Adriatic region. This special geographical location and the beautiful landscape around Villach and in the federal state of Carinthia have made the region a popular holiday destination for generations, further beyond the borders. The drinking water quality of the lakes and the particularly clean air make Villach and its surroundings an environmental paradise.

In addition to its geographical advantages, Austria also leads the world in terms of its social and health care system and is considered a particularly safe, prosperous and liveable country.

Despite the above-average prosperity and the comprehensive state social benefits, Villach compares favourably with many international destinations. The "small town bonus" comes into its own here and makes everyday life affordable.
