COMMUNICATION
ENGINEERING
Master Degree Program
Connected to the digital future. Modern communication technology has made
such an integral imprint on our everyday lives in such a way that none of us could
have imagined just a few short years ago. This technology determines the speed
of innovation and core technical research activities in a variety of business, economics and technical areas.
The principle goal of this program is to prepare our graduates for the
dynamic and continuous changes of the digital world and thus be in the
position to successfully participate in its future developments. This practice-oriented degree program should provide our students with the ability to master the supposedly incomprehensible chaos of data transmission
in technical networks and to plan and regulate modern communication
systems.

are accustomed to work creatively. The international aspects of this master’s program and our high academic standards should give you the
necessary security to start your career. Companies and/or research
institutions should have the guarantee that they are hiring qualified
employees with a practice-oriented education.
However, technical know-how alone may not be enough in today’s
competitive job market; thus, so-called “soft skills” are playing a more
important role in many companies. Thus, management competence and communication skills play a major role in our master degree program and should contribute to broadening the overall profile of our graduates.
Above and beyond this – corresponding to the requirements of the daily workplace – self-responsibility and the ability to work in teams are put
into practice in project-oriented courses. Students solve current problem
sets on their own in small teams. Thus, innovative ideas can be implemented already in the degree program by students as they develop marketoriented business models.

When I came to Austria in fall 2006, it was
rather difficult for me to start a new life –
meaning to begin my studies in a foreign
country, even though the language is the same.
Now I can say that I am absolutely happy that
I overcame those hard times, because Carinthia
has become my new home. I love living here next
to the mountains and lakes, in fact, where other
people spend their holidays. In my opinion, CUAS
offers excellent possibilities for students from all
over the world. The equipment for Communication Engineering is state-of-the-art, which makes
the process of learning and doing research even
more interesting. Personally, I feel that many German universities would be well consulted to adopt
this system of modern devices. I really enjoy pursuing my studies here.
