Programme

Medical engineering is a recently emerged field that applies engineering, physics, mathematics, and computer science to health care in order to improve diagnostic tools, monitoring techniques, and therapeutic devices. The field of medical engineering is heavily involved in research and development and covers topics from tissue engineering and robotics, to development of medical devices and wearable sensors. The analytics field aims to find patterns in data to allow the automatization of the data processing and, thus, diagnostic assessment. These developments play a role as a major game-changer in our healthcare system and thus in our society.

The Master of Science degree study program "Medical Engineering and Analytics" enables graduates to face the challenges of the modern healthcare sector. Equipped with knowledge of artificial intelligence, extended reality, and assistive technologies, graduates are sought-after by a wide variety of potential employers inside the health care industry as well outside of it.

Thanks to the Study & Work program, students can gain professional experience at Carinthia's leading companies already during their studies, ensuring a position for the vast majority of our graduates.

Organisation

Since its foundation in 1995, CUAS has made history. Back then we started with 2 programs and about 70 students; currently we offer about 40 study programs that educate almost 2000 full- and part-time students. About the same number of CUAS graduates is impressive proof of the necessity and importance of this academic institution. Through ever growing acceptance of the programs as well as the high demand for our graduates in industry, the programs will be further developed in the coming years.

The quality of our education is emphasized through the development of innovative teaching and learning methods, such as, blended learning, which offers students and professors greater flexibility in the creation of a suitable learning environment.Furthermore, the CUAS library offers educational support through state of the art facilities. On all sites CUAS libraries administrate 33,000 media.

Studying in Klagenfurt or online

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.
