When you hear the phrase “electrical engineering and information technology”, you may think of power stations, electricity grids and household devices, but in actual fact it has connections with some highly current issues, for example: the 6th generation mobile internet, photonics, microsystem technology, nanoelectronics, traffic telematics and distributed intelligence. We all use electronic devices on a regular basis – mobile phones, computers, consumer electronics.

The Master's Programme in Electrical Power Engineering and Sustainable Energy Systems deals with the many aspects of the topic of "energy" with a focus on "electricity" - from provision, preferably from renewable resources, to questions of distribution and security of supply, to efficient use, for example in electromobility. Finally, energy industry issues and scenarios are addressed through more flexible and decentralized markets. Students gain an in-depth insight into the interplay of technical issues of energy provision, storage and use with economic, social and ecological aspects.

Embedded systems are present in all areas of our life and society. Computers are embedded in cars, trams, medical prostheses, production robots, agricultural machines, cranes, consumer electronics, air conditioning systems and more.

Telecommunications deal with the transfer, switching and processing of messages and information. Messages in the form of language, images or data need to be converted into electrical or optical signals.

Microelectronics is the technological basis of our information society. All modern communications and information technology systems are based on this technology, as are components used in automation, consumer electronics, automotive technology, aviation, space travel and technical medicine.

The Master's Programme in Energy and Automation Technology currently offers two specialization options. In the coming academic year, the two specializations will be offered in the form of two independent master's degree programs, Automation and Robotic Systems and Electrical Power Engineering and Sustainable Energy Systems, which have been completely redesigned in terms of content.

Biomedical engineering links together life sciences with traditional engineering sciences. Healthcare is placing ever-increasing and more fascinating technical demands on biomedical engineering amidst growing demographic, ethical, ecological and cost pressures.

The aim of the master’s programme Computational Science and Engineering is to introduce students to  basic knowledge in the field of applied mathematics and informatics and to allow them to further specialize in at least two key areas which can be chosen from a transfaculty course portfolio (in alphabetical order):  Computational Building Science, Computational Chemistry and Material Science, Computational Electronics, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Acoustics, Computational Informatics, Computational Mathematics, Computational Mechatronics, Computational Solid Mechanics. These specializations enable students to complement their previous studies and furthermore allow them to focus on their personal interests and strengths.

The master's course in Material Sciences aims to provide a broad and fundamental education in the field of the scientific basis of materials, as well as their manufacture, examination, characterisation and application. In addition to such knowledge, graduates should also be capable of assessing and taking account of the societal and ecological dimensions of new materials.

As a participant in this programme, you can complete your master’s studies in Telecommunications at both TU Wien and the Brno University of technology.

The doctorate at TU Wien essentially comprises the student’s own scientific research output. With the new knowledge gained, an important contribution to the development of science is made. The thesis at the end of the doctorate constitutes the summary of the results of this research.
