This Master's program is tailored to address the emerging demands in electrical energy, mobility, and storage systems. It equips students with practical skills in applied research and development for various technical professions. The program emphasizes hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies in a rapidly evolving sector. Graduates will be prepared for the challenges posed by current and future industry needs.
Students will delve into topics such as electrical power & drive systems, power electronics, and automotive controls. The curriculum emphasizes practical applications, preparing graduates for real-world engineering challenges.
The program is structured over four semesters, with the first semester focusing on core subjects and the latter semesters allowing for specialization and in-depth study. A significant aspect is a practical work placement in the final semester.
Graduates will possess the ability to analyze complex technical systems, innovate in energy-efficient solutions, and design alternative energy systems. They will also develop competencies in regulatory and industrial systems.

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.
