Medical Engineering is a rapidly
developing field that combines engineering, physics, mathematics, and computer
science and applies it to medicine, innovating our healthcare system. The
hand-in-hand work of academia and medical companies leads to the development of
new diagnostic tools, improvement of monitoring techniques, and design of new
therapeutic devices. Analytics represents another crucial part of modern
medicine, aiming to find patterns in the “big data” with the view of automatization
of data processing and diagnosis assessment.
Our
degree programs – a bachelor’s program in Medical Engineering and a master’s program
in Medical Engineering and Analytics – aim to train the next generation of specialists.
They provide the basic knowledge required in this multidisciplinary field,
including the basics of electrical engineering, physics, medicine, signal
processing and programming, but keep the main focus on the current “hot
topics”, such as Artificial Intelligence and Assistive Technologies.
Hands-on
training represents another major part of the curriculum, including several
practical exercises in specialized laboratories and projects related to our
research. The “Study & Work” program offers our students the opportunity to
work part-time at one of Carinthia’s leading companies and thus gain
professional experience already during their studies. Both programs offer the
option to study work-friendly and the master’s program also to study HyFlex (on-site/online
and even asynchronously). We ensure the highest educational standard, small
groups and personal support, all of that at low tuition fees.
Equipped with the theoretical and practical knowledge of various fields, our graduates have a broad spectrum of excellent career opportunities with the most common areas being:
- research and development for medical device companies,
- research at universities,
- application of image processing and artificial intelligence,
- technical support at hospitals,
- software development.
