What you study

The curriculum covers energy technology and plant engineering in hydrogen technologies, plus renewable energies as a cross-cutting subject. You look at material use in the chemical industry, energy use such as process heat and power generation, and mobility. The programme gives an overview of the technologies used from production through transport and storage to plants and energy conversion.

How the programme is organised

It is a work-integrated (dual) programme over six semesters and 180 ECTS. The first two semesters are completed at the UAS Technikum Wien, and during that time you apply to one of the partner companies. From the third semester onwards, you alternate between practical phases at the company and study at the UAS Technikum Wien. There are 17 places. Attendance times at the UAS are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:40. A semester abroad is possible, with the fourth or fifth semester recommended. At least 5 International Credits are part of every bachelor's programme, through measures such as excursions, semesters abroad, being an International Buddy or writing the bachelor thesis in English. The programme has 39 ECTS taught in English.

Who it suits

This programme suits you if you want to combine study with paid work at a company and are interested in climate protection and the energy transition. You should be ready to apply to a partner company during your first year. The dual format means you are in a company from the third semester, so you need to be organised and comfortable moving between workplace and campus.
