Computer Engineering

About this programme

In the Bachelor's programme “Technische Informatik” (hereafter: Computer Engineering), you will learn how software and hardware interact to develop modern computer systems. You will acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to design secure and high-performance digital systems. The programme covers topics such as programming, algorithms, machine learning, and computer architecture. You will also learn how specialised computer systems operate, including those that function in real time or require a high degree of fault tolerance. In addition, you will gain foundational knowledge in electrical engineering, for example in microelectronics and signal processing. At TU Wien, we want everyone interested in computer science to have the opportunity to study with us, regardless of their educational background. For this reason, the selection procedure does not assess programming skills and does not require any prior experience with computers. Instead, it evaluates your ability to solve problems, think logically, and comprehend texts. The selection procedure takes place only once a year, regardless of whether you plan to start in the winter or summer semester. If you pass the selection procedure, you can complete your admission until the end of the general admission deadline for the winter or summer semester. You must provide the required documents and meet all other admission requirements. Admission is done by the Admission Office .
