University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria - FH OOE Speciality : Engineering
programme: Master in Electrical Engineering

Engineering degree programs are excellent value for money, combining practical skills and lab work with the underlying math and physics. One of the reasons the studies are affordable is they are lean, meaning students are responsible for a lot of independent learning. If you do your job, you will gain an in-demand skill set and find work without problems.

This university combines very well theoretical and practical learning.
Students get many opportunities to learn to use a diverse set of equipments, from electronics to high voltage.
Both professors and installations are of top quality.
With up to 30 students per class, it allows for a close relationship with the professors and university staff.
I recommend this university for its high quality education and its affordable price.

I had a great experience at FH OOE that truly shaped my future and career. In the companies I’ve worked for so far, I felt very well prepared from the moment I started, thanks to the university’s strong focus on practical learning and autonomous work.

As an alumni of the Electrical Engineering program, my experience at FH Wels was highly valuable, particularly in terms of practical, hands-on learning. The program is very well structured to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application, which is critical in engineering.

One of the biggest strengths is the strong emphasis on laboratory work, projects, and applied problem-solving. We were not just learning concepts but actively implementing them—whether through simulations, hardware experiments, or system-level thinking. This approach significantly improved my confidence in tackling real engineering challenges in a professional environment.

The faculty is knowledgeable and supportive, and many bring industry experience, which reflects in the way subjects are taught. The curriculum is aligned with industry needs, making the transition to the workplace much smoother.

If I had to highlight an area for improvement, it would be expanding exposure to emerging technologies and interdisciplinary topics even further. However, the foundation provided is strong enough to build on independently.

Overall, I would definitely recommend FH Wels to anyone looking for a practical, industry-oriented Electrical Engineering education.
