From fall 2025, “Medical Engineering” will be offered in German and English*. No knowledge of German is required to apply for the English-language program.
It has been a long way from the first stethoscope to the modern heart rate monitors in Smartwatches - but it shows impressively what enormous progress has been made in the development of medical devices. Demographic change and the ever-increasing demands on medicine make the use of medical devices and analytical methods and their further development absolutely essential.
Medical information technology is a rapidly growing market and is not left out by any major medical technology or IT company. The trend is towards offering total solutions - "Applications and Solutions" - and integrating modern diagnostic and therapeutic equipment into the healthcare provider's information system. Graduates of the "Medical Technology" branch of study find a broad and very innovative field of activity in the economy. Specialists in modern medical technology must therefore have proven specialist knowledge as a link between technology and medicine, as well as a high level of social competence.
Students benefit from high quality teaching and practical training. Building on the fundamentals of computer science, mathematics, physics in anatomy and physiology, the technical aspect is the focus of the course: Information technologies and mobile applications are covered as well as system design and integration and signal processing.
The work in the laboratories (medical technology and augmented reality) also gives a first taste of what to expect in the professional internship in the sixth semester. The integration of this "practical semester" at home or abroad will enable the direct implementation and deepening of the already acquired knowledge in practice. The knowledge can thus be further developed "on the job" in order to optimally prepare the students for their entry into professional life.
Career opportunities await students in companies ranging from the electronics industry, equipment manufacturers or software developers to hospitals and in hospital management, rehabilitation and sports centres or in the care and home sector. Specialist knowledge is particularly in demand there, which is dealt with in the degree course: Topics such as Augmented Reality, Assisted Living (AAL), Computer Graphic, Data Science, Internet of Things (IOT) and Smart Sensors accompany students during their education.

HTL graduates can shorten their bachelor's degree by up to one year if they have passed selected entrance examinations before starting their studies and have completed a relevant HTL. The entry requirement for the 2nd or 3rd semester is a grade point average of 2 or better in the last two annual reports (4th and 5th grade) of the HTL.
Entry into the 2nd semester is possible on an individual basis after reviewing the documents.
With over 100 Study & Work partner companies and organizations, CUAS offers students the opportunity to combine studying and working!
Students receive comprehensive knowledge in technical and medical fields. In addition, they specialize in elective modules on the subjects of Data Science, Mobile Systems Development or Internet of Things. Medical technology relies on personal support and an "open door policy". Supportive courses are also offered before and during the course of study to ensure optimal success.
What students should bring to their studies:
Concrete previous knowledge is not necessary for the bachelor's degree in medical technology. Therefore, students from all types of schools can start this study program after the Matura if they bring the appropriate interest and willingness to perform. In order to facilitate the start of studies, the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences offers intensive courses in mathematics, computer science and physics. Missing university entrance qualifications can be compensated by relevant professional qualifications and attendance of the pre-study course.
The focus of the course is on the technological development of treatment processes and diagnostic methods. On the one hand, you will acquire relevant basic knowledge in computer science and mathematics, on the other hand, you will successively focus on medical technology topics
such as anatomy, physiology and imaging techniques. The contents of the course cover the entire medical technology processing chain from image and signal generation, acquisition and processing to the visualization of these data (e.g. ultrasound, CT,
thermography). Starting in the third semester, the topics Data Science, Mobile Systems Development or Internet of Things are available in an elective module. In addition to the work placement, the focus will be on Business English and project management.

Michaela WartbichlerKlagenfurt combines joie de vivre, nature and culture. The city of just over 100,000 inhabitants on Lake Wörthersee is a recreational area that fulfils every wish. Slovenia and Italy are not far away, the mountains are within reach. Klagenfurt's cultural scene is also vibrant, with clubs, stages and museums. The Old Square with its many shops, restaurants and cafés is the centre of city life. The idyllic Lendkanal connects the city with the lake and, like Kreuzbergl, is a popular destination for amateur sportsmen and nature lovers.
The campus in Primoschgasse has perfect transport connections - a separate bus line stops directly in front of the FH on the Südring. The view from the roof terrace onto the mountain panorama surrounding Klagenfurt offers the perfect space for relaxing breaks.

Before enrolment in a degree program at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, a learning agreement is concluded between the prospective student and the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences.
This contract defines the rights and obligations of the student and the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences.
The rights and obligations of the student at a glance:
The learning agreement is sent electronically to applicants who have been accepted onto a degree program. In addition to the electronic consent to the learning agreement, the timely payment of the tuition fee and the Austrian Students´ Union fee is a prerequisite for admission to the degree program.
Significant legislative basis for a UAS degree program in Austria can be found here:
FHG - Federal Act on University of Applied Sciences Degree Programs (in German only)
HS-QSG - Act on Quality Assurance in Higher Education
Regarding the accreditation of previously gained academic knowledge through courses and/or exams taken at other institutions of higher education, the respective degree program administration/director will use the principle of ‘course per course relevant accreditation.
The equivalency of the previously taken courses in terms of content and scope to the offered courses in the degree program will be determined by the degree program administrator/director. If an equivalency is determined to exist, then those courses passed with positive marks/grades will be recognized and accredited. Additional examination of academic knowledge in these cases is not foreseen.
Specialized knowledge and relevant experiences acquired through professional and on-the-job experience may also be considered for accreditation for relevant courses. In cases of accrediting professional experience for course credits, additional examinations may be carried out if applicable.
Applications for accreditation are to be submitted directly to the Program Director no later than the start date of the relevant study course(s).
The student must decide where s/he will spend the semester abroad (i.e., a partner university) and will need to coordinate with the responsible Departmental International Coordinator concerning the necessary requirements.
Before the student spends the semester abroad, s/he is required to submit a completed Learning Agreement. This document contains all the courses the student will take abroad and will be recognized at CUAS once s/he finishes the courses successfully. The courses should correspond as much as possible to the courses offered in the curriculum of the student’s CUAS study program in the relevant semester in content and semester hours. It is highly recommended to students to take 30 ECTS credits abroad.
The Learning Agreement is signed and approved by the individual student, the host institution and the program director of the study degree program or a designated faculty member at CUAS.
The Learning Agreement is a declaration of the courses which are to be taken abroad and is not valid as an official recognition document by Austrian law. Therefore, the document is to be linked to the official document “Antrag auf Anerkennung / Application for Accreditation” for academic studies abroad.
During the first four weeks of the study abroad semester the student is allowed to change the Learning Agreement. For example, previously selected courses do not take place or overlap. The host institution and CUAS must agree upon the courses to be changed. If this is approved, the changes must be listed separately on the Learning Agreement (section “Changes to the original Learning Agreement). Afterwards the document is signed and approved by the individual students, the host institution and the program director of the study degree program or a designated faculty member at CUAS.
After the semester abroad the courses taken abroad will be recognized at CUAS. Therefore, the original Transcript of Records from the host institution and the legally valid document “Antrag auf Anerkennung / Application of Accreditation” (which is linked to the Learning Agreement) are obligatory. The student lists on the document the successfully finished courses abroad. After the recognition process is positively completed, the CUAS Transcript of Records will contain those courses.
In cases where the semester abroad is not completed successfully, the Departmental Coordinator and program director of the relevant study degree program will determine on an individual basis if and what courses will be accredited and what a student can do to make up those missing credits which were not accredited.

Die Nostrifizierung ist die Anerkennung eines ausländischen Studienabschlusses (Ausbildung im tertiären Bereich/an Hochschule/Universität) als gleichwertig mit dem Abschluss des inländischen Bachelor- bzw. Masterstudiums an der FH Kärnten. Die Nostrifizierung an der FH Kärnten kann nur erfolgen, wenn ein mit dem ausländischen Studienabschluss gleichwertiger Studiengang an der FH Kärnten eingerichtet ist und sofern die Nostrifizierung zwingend für die Berufsausübung in Österreich notwendig ist (z.B. reglementierter Beruf). Ein nostrifizierter akademischer Grad entfaltet dieselben Rechtswirkungen wie ein im Inland erworbener akademischer Grad.
Innerhalb der Europäischen Union (EU) bzw. des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraumes (EWR) ist eine Nostrifizierung nicht zwingend erforderlich und daher auch nicht möglich. Die Anerkennungsentscheidung von europäischen Ausbildungen in einem reglementierten Beruf (z.B. im Bereich der medizinisch-technischen Dienste, Hebammen und Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege) erfolgt in Österreich durch die zuständige Behörde (das für Gesundheit zuständige Ministerium bzw. Landesregierungen).
Auszug aus: nostrifizierung.at
Nostrifizierungsansuchen können nur für Studienabschlüsse eingebracht werden, welche mit dem Studienangebot der FachhochschuleKärnten übereinstimmen.
Die Nostrifizierung ist ein Verwaltungsverfahren an einer Universität bzw. Fachhochschule, die an bestimmte Voraussetzungen gebunden ist.
Der/Die Antragsteller/in muss nachweisen, dass die Nostrifizierung für seine/ihre angestrebte Tätigkeit in Österreich eine zwingende (siehe: „Was ist vorzulegen?“) Voraussetzung ist. In allen anderen Fällen obliegt die Bewertung des ausländischen Studiums ohnehin dem/der Arbeit- oder Dienstgeber/in.
Die Nostrifizierung kann an jeder Universität bzw. Fachhochschule, an der ein vergleichbares österreichisches Studium eingerichtet ist, beantragt werden. In vielen Fällen kommen daher mehrere Universitäten bzw. Fachhochschulen in Betracht. An welcher davon der/die Antragsteller/in in einem solchen Fall das Verfahren beantragt, bleibt seiner/ihrer Wahl überlassen. Der gleiche Nostrifizierungsantrag kann jedoch nur an einer Hochschule eingebracht werden.
Siehe: Notwendige Anlagen zum Antrag auf Nostrifizierung
Die Nostrifizierungstaxe beträgt derzeit EUR 150,00 und ist im Voraus zu entrichten. Dazu kommen Gebühren und Verwaltungsabgaben. Mehr Informationen unter Anlagen zur Nostrifizierung.
Kriterien der Überprüfung sind Inhalte, Umfang und Anforderungen desjenigen österreichischen Studiums, mit dessen Abschluss die Gleichwertigkeit beantragt wird. Wenn einzelne Voraussetzungen nicht zutreffen, können diese als außerordentliche/r Studierende/r absolviert werden. Sämtliche Bedingungen werden mit Bescheid vorgeschrieben. Wenn der/die Antragsteller/in alle zusätzlichen Bedingungen erfüllt hat oder wenn keine Bedingungen vorgeschrieben wurden, stellt die zuständige Stelle die Nostrifizierung fest.
..., weil die Unterschiede zum österreichischen Studium zu groß sind, kann um Zulassung zum österreichischen Studium angesucht und nach erfolgter Zulassung die Anerkennung von Prüfungen aus dem ausländischen Studium, soweit sie den österreichischen gleichwertig sind, erfolgen. Danach kann das österreichische Studium fortgesetzt und abgeschlossen werden.
Auszug aus: Wie-Verläuft-eine-Nostrifizierung
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-oriented system to accumulate and transfer different study credits.
The ECTS is one of the main characteristics of the Bologna Process and is used within the European tertiary system to allow universities and other institutes of higher education to recognize and accredit students’ previous post-secondary coursework. Moreover, this allows students to accumulate credits from different institutions as well ensure that their tertiary degrees are recognized internationally. Thus, the ECTS-system regulates not only student mobility within Europe but also the admission to institutes for further studies.
The system is based upon the transparency of defined learning outcomes and learning processes. The acquisition of experience and knowledge is made transparent through the defined learning outcomes in the course description, the corresponding curriculum module and the degree program’s entire curriculum; this significantly contributes to quality assurance.
ETCS credits are calculated based upon a student’s workload, which in normal cases is necessary to pass a course successfully.
The learning outcomes describe what students should know, understand and be able to do after the successful completion of a learning process. The work load defines the amount of time typically necessary for all learning activities (e.g., lectures, seminars, projects, lab exercises, self-study, exams) in order to achieve the expected learning outcomes.
Within the European tertiary system, a semester is assessed to have 30 ECTS credits and an academic year 60 ECTS credits. The workload for an academic year ranges between 1.500 and 1.800 hours. In Austria, one ECTS credit is equivalent to a workload of 25 real hours.
The Learning Agreement (an agreement to accredit courses completed in a semester abroad) encompasses a listing of all the courses/modules/learning units that a student is to attend and complete at the partner university during the semester abroad. The courses’ ID-numbers and the ECTS credits to be transferred are listed in this document as well. When a ECTS credit transfer is to take place, then the learning agreement must be signed and approved by all three parties involved before the semester abroad: the student, the host institution and the sending institution. It is possible to make amendments to the learning agreement four weeks after the begin of the semester abroad.
The document Confirmation of Stay (Aufenthaltsbestätigung) confirms the actual stay of students at the host institution and is normally issued by the International Relations Office. The document may be issued by the host institute’s International Relations Office at the earliest two weeks before students abroad depart back to their home countries. This document is mandatory for Erasmus+ students.
The Transcript of Records (Datenabschrift) provides an overview of all study courses (completed courses/modules, grades/marks and the number of achieved ETCS credits). The ToR provides a proof of courses successfully completed and thus is very useful for student mobility (before the semester abroad, the ToR can be provided to the host institution and after the semester abroad, it provides the foundation for the recognition/accreditation of courses completed abroad at the sending institution).
The Diploma Supplement (Diplomzusatz) contains a standardized description of a completed degree program. The diploma supplement aims to improve the overall international transparency of degrees as well as to serve as a document for the recognition of academic and professional qualifications.
