There is a great demand for specialists who are able to successfully combine innovative computer science research and its practical application.
The conception and implementation of research projects, the identification of research and innovation opportunities in companies, and the promotion of exchange between industry and research are only a few of the potential fields of work for graduates of the programme.
The future-oriented dual master degree programme provides students with the ideal conditions for a challenging activity at the interface between industry and research.
A special benefit for the students is the combination of a theoretical education and practical research. The high scientific level in teaching coupled with participation in research projects at companies, universities of applied sciences and other universities, present students with excellent opportunities for development.
We offer two versions, depending on your current employment status:
Version 1: Your Employer as Educational Partner
If you are already active in a company or in the area of research, you can maintain your current employment and complete practical training blocks in your own company. In case your employer is not a partner company of the St. Pölten UAS yet, the company can become an educational partner – following examination by the Academic Director.
Version 2: Become an Employee in One of our Educational Partner Companies
Within the framework of a recommended consultation, students have the opportunity to express their interest in a certain research topic. The UAS then supports the student in his/her search for a suitable project and company partner.

The St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences is actively looking for interesting projects for potential master degree students. The close collaboration with project partners enables the students to participate in research projects. In addition, students can already indicate an existing/planned research project of a company when applying for the master programme.
Due to the close cooperation with research partners and a constant exchange between mentors and students, an ideal supervisory relationship can be built. For orientation purposes, we outlined some possible research projects: view Research projects
High-quality technical equipment and four modern network technology labs offer students every possibility to explore their talents and interests. Thanks to VPN solutions, students can use all resources outside the campus as well.
The fact that the teaching language is English promotes the students’ expressive skills. By writing research proposals and publications in English, students are prepared for a career in the national and international research landscape.
