Virtual & Augmented Reality, the Internet of Things, Cyber Security – combine the production of goods in modern industry with digital technologies and the associated business models. In close collaboration with more than 60 partner companies, the dual study programme Smart Engineering turns you into an expert for the highly interdisciplinary field of “Industry 4.0” – always taking into account the most important factor in production: the human.
Work experience and study are more closely integrated than on conventional part-time programmes. Work placements and theoretical training blocks at partner companies are an integral part of the curriculum.
Depending on the current employment relationship, there are two variants:
Variant 1: Your employer as a training partner
If you already work in a producing company or for an Industry 4.0 solution provider, you can remain in your employment relationship and complete the practical-training blocks in your own company. If your employer is not a partner company of St. Pölten UAS, your company can become a training partner after being examined by the study-programme management.
Variant 2: You become an employee in one of our training-partner companies
School leavers or interested people without relevant work experience are supported by us at the beginning of studies in the search for a suitable company. The practical-training blocks are completed with the new employer from the third semester parallel to the studies. See a list of our partner companies
