For the native German, it all started with a fascination for the show “Sendung mit der Maus” and an irrepressible curiosity about how everyday…
No matter whether it is vehicle construction, aerospace, energy technology or plant engineering: mechanical engineers are indispensable in a wide range of technical disciplines. They work in the area of conflict between advancing globalisation, increasing scarcity of resources and permanent technological progress, which constantly presents developers and designers with new challenges. Students on the "Mechanical Engineering" course of study are optimally prepared for these challenges.
The study program can be completed both part-time and full-time. There is a choice of three branches of study for specialisation: Manufacturing Engineering, Energy Engineering and Technical Design. Students learn about modern manufacturing technologies, including 3D printing. The course design focuses on project-based learning in order to combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills in the best possible way. In addition, there is special expertise in simulation-supported design, which is an important competence for graduates later in their professional lives.
Competences in the fields of simulation, bionic design and prototyping are also the focus of the bachelor's degree program in "Mechanical Engineering". However, entrepreneurial skills are also important for successful mechanical engineers. These are consolidated with courses in languages, economics and management. The course of study places particular emphasis on practical training, which is conveyed in the laboratory exercises offered, in a development project and finally in the professional internship. In addition to careers in companies with a technical orientation, graduates can also choose to deepen their academic knowledge or work in specialized research institutions after completing the course.
Study & Work - is that possible?
With over 60 Study & Work partner companies and organizations, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers first-year 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.
As a newly designed engineering program, the bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering provides a comprehensive understanding of the function of machines, product development and plants. Mechanical engineers deal with vehicle construction, plant engineering, production engineering, product development, engine technology and the associated classical basic subjects. They work in areas such as aerospace, series development, energy technology or energy machine construction.
Students can choose between a part-time course of study and a full-time course of study. Students can also choose between three specialisation areas: production engineering, energy mechanical engineering and technical design. Current topics such as additive manufacturing/rapid prototyping, generative design and bionics as well as simulation-supported design and validation are examined in detail in these modules. Up to 3D printing, students come into contact with a variety of modern manufacturing techniques.
What students should bring to their studies:
Concrete previous knowledge is not necessary for the Bachelor's degree program "Mechanical Engineering". Therefore, students from all types of schools can start this course of study after their 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.
After successful completion of their studies, graduates have the following skills and knowledge:

Georg WankerThe 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.
