Why study life sciences? - Improving life

Life sciences students are confronted with the processes of life. Be there when new insights are gained into the effects of food. After all, plants and nutrition always offer exciting connections between body and mind. Or specialize in medical technologies: prostheses restore quality of life to humans and animals, while artificial organs save entire lives.

Biotechnology and environmental technology are also part of the life sciences. The development of medicines, the fight against infections and the purification of wastewater are changing the way we live. Help unravel the secrets of life and improve life itself!

The agricultural sector is in upheaval. The trend towards sustainable, ecological production and the increasing societal interest in the origin of food products are causing far-reaching changes in the agricultural sector. Intelligent robot technology, smartphones and satellite control enable us to use our resources for agricultural production efficiently. Efficient product marketing, yield optimisation, animal health, food quality and sustainability form the focus of this study programme. Graduates therefore combine technical and economic knowledge that qualifies them to make agricultural companies as well as those in the food and agricultural technology sectors better able to compete internationally.

Campus Wels

The Bio- and Environmental Technology degree programme unites chemistry and biology with the engineering sciences of biotechnology and environmental technology. The combination of Biotechnology and Environmental Technology offers a unique possibility to study two future technologies simultaneously. Biotechnologists work on the engineering applications of biology. They produce medicines, biological fertilizers, biofuels and biogas. Biotechnology is very important in medicine for the regeneration of tissue, the treatment of infections or the diagnosis of illnesses. Environmental Technologists purify waste water or air, clean up contaminated sites and reduce current and future pollution in their planning of industrial plants.

Information technology today covers all aspects of the best healthcare provision. It has a crucial role in identifying the causes of illness, developing new drugs, and improving medical interventions. Graduates of our full-time degree program will be equipped to develop and deploy software medical doctors and molecular biologists need to fulfill highly complex tasks. Expertise in informatics, data science, life sciences etc. is highly sought after worldwide, not only in the health sector, the pharmaceutical industry and molecular-biological research, but also across the IT sector. After their first year, students choose to specialize in either medical informatics or bioinformatics.

Campus Wels

The Bio-and Environmental Technology Master’s degree programme offers students the opportunity to specialise in either biotechnology or environmental science. Central to this degree programme are environmental process engineering and biotechnology, plant planning and plant engineering with (bio-)analytics, the technology of food production and quality management. ’Soft skills‘ such as language skills, personality, academic and business economics competences enable a smooth transition into work. Independent of their chosen specialisation all graduates gain a common understanding of both of the core technologies our future depends on.

Campus Hagenberg

Being able to extract relevant information from huge amounts of data is more important than ever these days. This applies to the most diverse areas of our society, be it industry, finance or biomedical research: we are dealing with unmanageable and rapidly growing data everywhere. Data scientists have to filter out the crucial information from these volumes of data and process it in a generally understandable way. In the Master's degree program Data Science and Engineering, students learn how to process this data, gain knowledge from it and statistically evaluate and visualize this information. This enables them to draw valuable conclusions and generate new knowledge.
