The course is full-time in the first year and follows a dual-track structure from the third semester onwards. The first year takes place at FH JOANNEUM Graz, and from the third semester onwards at FH JOANNEUM Kapfenberg and in the training companies.
From the third semester onwards, theoretical and practical phases alternate: attendance at FH JOANNEUM Kapfenberg is limited to two days a week – Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the time, students undertake part-time work placements in specialist partner companies. The practical training periods required for the dual study programme are completed by students from Wednesday to Friday, in consultation with the training companies. This results in an internship which runs over four semesters.
40 per cent of teaching takes place online, meaning that there is an alternating cycle between on-campus and online teaching. For specific laboratory and hands-on exercises, a one-week in-person session is offered in each of the third, fourth and fifth semesters.
The course is structured in such a way that lectures, coursework and practical work can be easily balanced.
Self-study
The amount of self-study always depends on the student’s own level of commitment and ambition.
Attendance
Attendance is compulsory during the specified attendance times. Students are excused in cases of illness after producing a medical certificate from a doctor. Final judgement on the implications of absence and on exceptions to the attendance requirement will be made by the head of institute.
