Improvements for students in the Electronics and Photonics Bachelor’s Degree Programme

From laser technologies to sensors in everyday appliances or high-performance motors in industry - skilled labour is desperately sought after. The degree programme at FH Burgenland is now being revised.

Creating ideal conditions for students is the aim of the persons responsible for the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Applied Electronics and Photonics at University of Applied Sciences Bur-genland. A number of changes are intended to make the programme more attractive to young people. After all, experts are still in short supply and in high demand.

Pinkafeld, 9th of April 2024 - The first class of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Applied Electronics and Photonics at University of Applied Sciences Burgenland will graduate this summer. An internal revision will bring some changes for students in future, explains programme director Bernhard Czerny: “In future, the degree programme will offer students the opportunity to get to know future professional fields even earlier and more intensively through excursions, internships and projects.” This is because, in addition to the generalist basic training in applied electronics and photonics acquired during their studies, students have access to a very broad range of activities. “No industry can do without electronics and photonics,” explains the programme director. From laser technologies to sensors in everyday appliances or high-performance engines in industry - the range is enormous and specialists are desperately sought after.

New features for students

  • More excursions and projects enable students to make contact with future employers at an early stage.
  • More flexibility for students who are already working through the use of an interactive Lab@Home: students receive a home experiment kit at the start of their studies. This means that practical courses can also be held as distance-learning courses.
  • Even more individual support, particularly on the self-selected practical project. In addition, voluntary support courses are offered before the start of the programme for those without previous technical/scientific knowledge.

Information on the degree programme

The duration of the Bachelor’s programme is six semesters. Graduates receive the academic degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc). The degree programme can be studied on a part-time or extended part-time basis, with the option to switch flexibly at the end of each semester. Around 30 places are offered at the Pinkafeld study centre. The language of tuition is German. There are no tuition fees.

In addition, the degree programme offers an introduction to the most recent industry technologies: LiDAR, additive manufacturing, optoelectronics, laser technology, optical fibres, sensor electronics and microcontrollers.
