Hochschulstudien Applied Research and Innovation in Computer Science

Fachhochschule St. Pölten GmbH

Future-oriented research in the field of computer science and innovation requires specialists with comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge. An ideal supervisory relationship and intensive mentoring make sure that your strengths are promoted and that you can make use of your talents. The dual study system of the master programme is unique in Austria. It takes the demands of the working world into account and gives you the opportunity to participate in the design of research projects at national and international research centres (e.g. AIT, Salzburg Research, SBA Research) during your studies.
The curriculum focuses on five areas which it treats equally over all four semesters:
- Scientific Work: you will work in peer-reviewed international research projects and learn how to communicate your research results effectively.
- Computer Science: in addition to the theoretical foundations of computer science, this area conveys knowledge in the field of data science in particular.
- Science and Society: allows you to understand how methods to gain scientific knowledge shape the development of society.
-Innovation Management: the objective of this focus point is to show how research results can support and produce innovations.
- Computer Science Research Projects: close cooperation with the project partners allows you to participate in research projects. At the same time, the close collaboration constitutes an ideal supervisory relationship. Improving your linguistic skills constitutes a priority in all of these main areas.
