Automation Technology
Automation technology works at the interface between electronics, informatics, mechanical engineering and business. The challenge when automating technical processes is to produce an optimum mix between mostly conflicting aspects of time, cost, quality, resources and the environment. Here it is important to consider the whole system instead of optimising individual components independently from one another. Modular solutions are therefore becoming increasingly more important.
Innovation Management
Turn a flash of genius, a brilliant idea into success! As essential success factors, new innovations are constantly needed in businesses in order to gain a competitive edge. The best idea however, can only become a successful innovation if customer needs and market changes are considered. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to employ business engineers that have systematic innovation skills.
Information Technologies & Business Informatics
One thing is certain: There is a lack of business informaticians, yet the demand in business continues to grow. In an increasingly complex professional world, specialising in only one field is no longer advantageous. Therefore, business informatics is becoming more important as the link between business and informatics.
Financial Accounting & Management Accounting
Business success and an efficient company organisation are not based on luck or coincidence, but on ideal strategic planning, leadership skills and state-of-the-art knowledge about processes in management accounting and business administration. The Degree Programme in Financial Accounting & Management Accounting offers cutting-edge and practice-oriented training based on the newest developments in the industry, equips you with the perfect tool kit to lead a company to success and move to top positions in international groups.
Marketing & Sales
A well functioning cooperation between marketing and sales is the key to attracting, convincing and retaining customers along the customer journey. A close and cooperative exchange between these two disciplines and the development of common goals therefore contributes significantly to the success of a company. Through the mixture of theory and practice, our students develop all the skills and competences that are needed in digital marketing and sales and are thus well prepared for the day to day work in these disciplines.
Automation technology connects different specialist areas and technologies, giving the Bachelor degree programme a highly interdisciplinary approach to technical and operative activities. Besides technical competences in core areas, automation technology students also acquire essential practice-relevant communication, social and methodological skills. Specialist elective modules are of particular importance, because they represent the technical diversity of the field and offer students the opportunity to tailor their course profile. Independent, practice-oriented team work on specialist topics plays a key role in the process. To complement the qualification profile, students acquire English language skills and learn economic basics.

CAMPUS 02 University of Applied Sciences
Degree Programme in Automation Technology
Körblergasse 126, 8010 Graz, Austria
The path to your programme starts with registration in our campus management system and the subsequent online application. If you have already studied at CAMPUS 02, registration is no longer necessary and you can apply directly in C02online.
The application test offers you the opportunity to prove your suitability for the desired degree programme(s) and is therefore an important part of the application process. After successful submission and the first check of your online application, you will therefore receive an invitation to the application test by e-mail.
After the application test you have a week’s time to complete your application documents online in the self-service area.
The last step towards your programme is the personal interview conducted by the board of examiners. The interview gives you the chance to prove yourself and your skills face-to-face or virtually.
Together with lecturers from well-known companies and their Captains, CAMPUS 02 will accompany you on your academic journey. Science meets business: Projects for various companies help put your acquired theoretical and specialist knowledge into practice. Thereby, you are constantly and directly in contact with the professional world. This extra-occupational degree programme lets you enter a network of students, lecturers, researchers and businesses to achieve a common goal: sustainable success in business.
The extra-occupational degree programme at CAMPUS 02 is designed for full-time working professionals. Since 2005, professional experience is however no longer obligatory in order to be considered for this programme. This way, school graduates and others without professional experience are also given the chance to study at CAMPUS 02.
During the degree programme students will develop personal competences in course units such as Communication & Time Management, Motivation & Teamwork, Rhetorics & Presentation Techniques, Conflict & Decision-Making Ability and The Creative Problem Solving Process
In addition to technical skills in automation technology’s three pillars (i.e. electronics, informatics and mechanical engineering), students also acquire fundamental business expertise. Beginning with the third semester, students specialise in different automation technology topics.
Those who do not have relevant work experience are expected to do a 15 week internship that can be spread across all semesters. The Seminar for Professional Practical Training supports and accompanies students during their internship.
Today, the shortage of highly-qualified engineers is still an issue, particularly in Austria. Through the interdisciplinary approach of CAMPUS 02’s Degree Programme in Automation Technology students are trained to be able to work in a variety of fields, making them technical generalists. The degree programme’s output has also kept the market demand for versatile automation technologists stable for years, regardless of crises in individual economic areas. The elective modules of the degree programme offer the chance to work in specialised fields. Not only are graduates wanted for large industrial businesses, but also for many small/middle-sized companies with specialised and highly technologically mature products.
The multi-faceted nature of automation technology coupled with the outstanding knowledge of lecturers from industry and business makes this degree programme highly attractive. Students are not only provided with theoretical knowledge, but they are also excellently prepared for the challenges in daily working practice. The extra occupational degree programme also offers the opportunity to build up and develop a broad network of contacts in a wide range of industries.
I can recommend the Degree Programme in Automation Technology to anyone who wants to advance their technical and social competences as well as expand their specialist knowledge. Students receive broad insight into the three essential pillars of automation technology, can choose to specialise in one of them and adapt their personal soft skills to business demands.
The degree programme gives you the opportunity to work with experienced lecturers from industry and business and to get to know fellow students from other companies and different professions. Knowledge sharing amongst students is an important additional advantage that the extra-occupational study offers.

Captains and lecturers from successful companies accompany you on your personal academic journey, providing the ideal combination of theory and practice. In addition, projects assigned by clients shape business relationships. Study extra-occupationally and learn from the best.
In the very heart of Graz, yet surrounded by a breathtaking landscape.
Graz is the much-loved study destination – where science, business and culture co-exist. And not without reason: it boasts more than 50,000 students at 8 universities and has the highest concentration of universities within all of central Europe.
It positions itself as a City of Design, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a city of human rights. Home to important regional and international companies, it is the economic centre of Styria and south-east Austria, whilst also offering a high quality of life for those who live, work and study here. It is no wonder that Graz is by far the fastest growing urban area in Austria – simply the ideal location in which to live and learn.
