TU Wien Informatics is shaping future technologies with its advancements in the field of Computer Science. A vital part of bringing our cutting-edge reserarch and innovation to the heart of society are our teaching responsibilities - one of the three pillars of our mission. We are therefore excited to bring you a brand new master’s program and updated curricula of our established study programs that address current challenges in computer science and their impact within a broader societal context.

Our new master’s program Embedded Computing Systems

Computing systems are embedded in almost all technical domains, from smart watches, autonomous cars, airplanes, and health devices, to large-scale industrial automation systems. These systems deploy hardware devices that are based on a sophisticated circuit design of digital and analog components. Smart systems require close interaction with other devices and the physical world through complex networks, sensors, and actuators in a timely, safe, and secure way. Designing these systems requires a broad understanding of the mathematical foundations, the hardware, the software, the applications, and their interaction with the physical world. Our master’s program Embedded Computing Systems, jointly offered by the faculties of Informatics and Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, will equip you with theoretical knowledge and the practical engineering skills to design advanced circuits and build tomorrow’s embedded and cyber-physical systems.

Shape tomorrow’s technologies - now. You can find all information and details about the program and how to apply here.

Updated Curricula

The curricula for our bachelor’s programs Business Informatics and Computer Engineering, as well as our master’s programs Logic and Artificial Intelligence, Media and Human-Centered Computing, Software Engineering, and Visual Computing, have been updated. All of our study programs actively engage with critical reflection on the research and development of new technologies, tackling questions of access and accessibility, security and privacy, as well as the creation of safe and trustworthy systems.

Don’t Panic! If you’re currently enrolled in the bachelor’s programs Business Informatics or Computer Engineering, our in our master’s programs Logic and Computation, Media and Human-Centered Computing, Software Engineering and Internet Computing, or Visual Computing, no action is required. You can find all program changes on our Transitional Provisions page. Please note: the master’s programs Logic and Computation and Software Engineering and Internet Computing have been renamed to Logic and Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering, respectively. If you have any questions regarding the transitional provisions, please contact our Study Services.
