Qualification Profile and Skills
The Bachelor’s Programme in Electrical Engineering is a joint study programme of the UMIT TIROL and the University of Innsbruck (LFU).
Electrical engineering has become indispensable in our digitised world. It covers research and development as well as production technology of systems, processes, devices and products that are at least partly based on electrical energy. The broad scope of application ranges from transducers to electrical machines and components as well as circuits for control, measurement, control, message and computer technology up to technical computer science.
Within the scope of the Bachelor’s Programme in Electrical Engineering, students acquire knowledge built on the latest findings of the discipline. Both scientific and engineering fields of expertise are developed and promoted through university education. In industrial projects and stays abroad social skills can be specially trained.
A central element of the Bachelor’s Programme in Electrical engineering is its focus on sustainability and relevance of knowledge and skills. That is why the imparting of knowledge and competences in scientific methods is given priority over often short-lived special knowledge.
Expected Learning Outcomes
The graduates are qualified to develop, evaluate and apply scientific advances in electrical engineering as well as to apply the acquired competences interdisciplinary. They have scientifically sound theory and method-based problem-solving skills, with the help of which they are able to handle demanding questions of professional practice.
Future Prospects: Occupational Profiles and Career Opportunities
Graduates of the Bachelor’s Programme in Electrical Engineering have a wide range of areas of responsibility and career opportunities. Because of their university education, they are in particular qualified to take up demanding work in different fields of electrical technology in industry and commercial businesses. Moreover, graduates of the Bachelor’s Programme are also qualified for a subject-specific Master’s programme.
Postgraduate and further Studies at the University of Innsbruck
Extension Study Programme
