with a focus on IoT, security and management.

The Master's programme aims to train and develop IT managers who can orchestrate the diverse application areas around Cloud & IoT (Internet of Things) - the technical building blocks of digitalisation. This degree programme is the right choice for you if you are interested not only in cloud technologies and the operation of modern IT solutions, but also in the underlying business models and strategies.

"The cloud computing engineers of tomorrow need the necessary all-round view to be able to consider both the opportunities and the challenges on the topic of cloud as a whole and from different perspectives. The in-depth training provides decision-making processes from a technical, organisational and legal perspective to be able to develop comprehensive solutions for organisations."

Igor Ivkić, Director of Studies

DETAILS ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAMME CLOUD COMPUTING ENGINEERING

 

Language requirements:

Applicants whose native language is not German must provide evidence of sufficient German language skills (at least language level C1). If corresponding evidence is not evident from existing documents, there is the possibility of an assessment test at the degree programme.

Applicants must prove sufficient knowledge of English (at least language level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). If corresponding evidence is not evident from existing documents, there is the possibility of an assessment test at the degree programme.

Every year, 24 applicants are admitted to the Master's programme in Cloud Computing Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences.

Application deadline: 31 May - to see whether an application is still possible after this date, click HERE. For your better planning, a first part of the study places will already be allocated from 31 March.

Applications that arrive at the UAS Master's programme Cloud Computing Engineering within a set deadline will be considered in the admission procedure for the coming academic year. The application is made via the online application.

Admission interview
After applying for a study place, eligible applicants are invited to a personal interview. During the interview, the applicant's motivation to study, communication skills, social and intercultural competence as well as any previous professional experience, English and other foreign language skills are clarified.

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of available study places, the admission procedure provides for a ranking, whereby the academic qualification (previous study career), additional qualifications (professional qualifications, certificates, etc.) as well as the admission interview are evaluated.

Deposit
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.
