„In the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Green Engineering, you learn to combine sustainability, technology and business. You develop renewable energy systems, design resource-efficient products, plan sustainable water management and think circular."
Christian Wartha, Head of Department
To study for a bachelor's degree at our organisation, you must meet one of the following requirements:
ADMISSION REUIREMENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL DEGREE SEEKING STUDENTS FROM THIRD-PARTY STATES
DETAILS ZUGANGSVORAUSSETZUNGEN BACHELOR GREEN ENGINEERING
Twenty-five applicants are admitted to the Bachelor’s degree programme in Green Engineering each year.
Applications submitted to the Bachelor’s degree programme in Green Engineering within the specified deadline will be considered as part of the admissions process for the coming academic year. Applications must be made via the online application system.
Applicants must provide evidence of their English language proficiency as part of their application. The language certificate must have been obtained from a recognised language examination body (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge, Oxford), demonstrate a level of at least B2, and must not be more than two years old.
If no recognised proof of English language proficiency is submitted with the application, an English test must be taken prior to the admissions interview. Applicants will be informed separately about this English test.
In English-language degree programmes, the application deadline for applicants with visa requirements is 15 March of the corresponding calendar year.
FURTHER ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR THIRD COUNTRY CITIZENS REQUIRING A VISA TO ENTER AUSTRIA
For applicants with certificates from third countries (i.e. all countries except the member states of the EEA/EU and Switzerland) without EU visa facilitation agreements the application deadline for the study programme starting in September ends on 15 March of the same year. This should give you sufficient time to apply for the required residence permit and/or visa and to obtain any missing documents and certifications.
To take part in the admissions process, you must meet all the entry requirements within the specified deadline. A preliminary selection will be made based on the documents you submit, which will determine whether you are invited to the admissions interview. During this interview, which will be conducted in English, we aim to get to know you, your skills and your qualities by discussing your education, additional qualifications and your motivation.
To be successful in your application, you must demonstrate sufficient proficiency in English (at least level B2).
After the binding allocation of a place, University of Applied Sciences Burgenland collects a deposit of € 350 from students to secure their place. This deposit is refunded to active students after the end of the first semester. If an applicant does not fulfil the admission requirements before the start of the programme (e.g. did not pass the resit of the school-leaving examination, did not pass the additional qualification examination, etc.), the deposit is also refunded. In all other cases, the deposit is forfeited.
Graduates work at the intersection of technology, ecology and business. They typically find jobs in:
Designing, dimensioning and integrating sustainable energy systems, as well as developing decarbonisation concepts for energy-intensive industries (such as steel, cement and chemistry).
Planning water and wastewater treatment plants, industrial water cycles and rain water management systems.
Developing resource-efficient production processes in the interest of lean and green manufacturing.
Using simulation tools, artificial intelligence and digital twins to optimise energy and material flows.
Developing circular products (ecodesign), planning recycling systems and optimising product life cycles.
Managing and implementing sustainability strategies in companies to comply with current regulatory frameworks.
