The Bachelor's program in Systems Engineering combines aspects of engineering, technology, and sustainability. It covers the design and implementation of complex technical systems, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through labs and projects. Graduates are equipped to tackle interdisciplinary challenges in various engineering environments.
Students study various engineering topics including electronics, mechanics, and software technology. The curriculum is designed to provide both theoretical understanding and practical skills.
The program is structured into six semesters with a mix of lectures, hands-on projects, and a final thesis. It includes opportunities for internships and collaborative projects with industry.
Graduates acquire a comprehensive engineering expertise with skills in project coordination, problem-solving, and technical system implementation. They are prepared for careers in a variety of engineering fields.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
FH Kärnten spreads engineering, health, and business programs across Carinthian campuses in Villach, Klagenfurt, Feldkirchen, and Spittal, with several English-taught degrees.
