TestimonialsWhy study Energy Informatics?

We let our students and alumni share their opinions and stories about studying Energy Informatics at Hagenberg campus.

Our international Master’s programme welcomes students from all over the world, like Rosemary Josy Poovattil from Kerala, India. In the following video she gives a glimpse of her everyday student life, talks about how and why she came to pursue her studies here in Austria and what she likes most about it.

Andreas Sulzermeier
Energy Informatics student & software developer at Kreisel Electric

"During my Bachelor degree programme (Mobile Computing) I already got really interested in the special field of energy which I can now continue to pursue with the Master's programme Energy Informatics. Besides studying I’m working part-time as a software developer at Kreisel Electric. As classes are mostly only half-day there is enough time for work - it’s a perfect combination. While most companies are specialized in a particular topic, the study enables us to build up a solid and broad knowledge, which I can perfectly apply in my job. This is worth a lot because there aren’t many software developers who are well experienced in the field of energy. But also vice versa, I’m always getting to know new technologies at work which give me a better understanding of the subjects taught at university."

Energy Informatics Master's program at Hagenberg campus provided me with a unique opportunity to discover the world of engineering while strengthening my existing informatics skills. With the state-of-art research involvement and expertise gathered from the qualified lecturing panel, I'm quite confident to extend my career path as a knowledgable IT professional once I graduate. I would highly recommend the top-notch, multicultural education experience I'm having at Hagenberg campus for any prospective student who wishes to obtain an outstanding education at a prestigious Austrian university."

Sergio Potenciano Menci
Energy Informatics graduate, Spain

"I studied Energy Informatics because our future is computer based. And where else could I get better IT knowledge than in Hagenberg? Energy Informatics is a unique and pioneering programme, which combines IT with specific knowledge on the energy domain. After finishing my studies I hope to become a 'new type' of energy engineer specialised in the fields of renewables, e-mobility and green technologies."

The study programme is brand new and gives students a solid knowledge in the fields of IT and the energy domain, which makes them capable of being competitive and demanded employees in the future."

 

Osamah Al-Ghammari
Energy Informatics student, Yemen

"The master’s programme Energy Informatics opened my eyes to e-mobility, smart grids and renewable resources. I realized that there are many ways to reach more sustainable energy economy in a modern world. I personally really enjoyed the informative excursions to cutting-edge enterprises such as Kreisel Electric, Austrian Institute of Technology and Linz AG. Another important aspect of this master’s programme is the diverse background of each student in a classroom, which makes the study process a unique, fruitful and holistic experience."
