About the course

A three-year (6-semester, 180 ECTS) BSc taught in English at the Faculty of Technical Sciences. It gives a theoretical foundation in robotics and artificial intelligence alongside hands-on lab work, with required subjects (124 ECTS), guided electives (36 ECTS), open electives (10 ECTS) and a bachelor’s thesis/seminar (10 ECTS). There is no entrance exam: admission is through the general admission procedure. You can start in the winter semester (October) or the summer semester.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Austria has no CAO-style points system and there is no entrance exam for this course. You need a school-leaving qualification that gives general university entrance (like the Austrian Matura). Applicants with a foreign certificate, such as the Leaving Cert, follow a separate admission procedure where the university checks whether the certificate is equivalent. The University of Klagenfurt’s exact Leaving Cert rules (number of subjects and Higher Level grades) were not confirmed, so check with the Admissions and Examinations Office before you apply.
  • Maths requirement: no specific maths requirement was found. Taking Higher Level Maths is strongly advised for a robotics and AI degree.
  • English: level B2 (CEFR) is required. The university’s language rules accept passing English as part of the school-leaving exam at a school in an EU country, so Leaving Cert English should count. Confirm this with admissions.

How to apply

  2. Apply onlineEU/EEA applicants can apply online at any time. Upload your Leaving Cert results and proof of English (Leaving Cert English should count). Apply early so your documents can be checked.

Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: EU/EEA applicants can apply online at any time, but must enrol in person during the general admission period. For bachelor’s programmes this ran from 6 July to 5 September 2026 for the 2026/27 winter semester (an extension up to 31 October may be allowed in some cases). The 2027/28 dates had not been published when checked, so expect roughly 6 July to 5 September 2027 and confirm on the university’s ‘Term dates and deadlines’ page. Apply well ahead so your foreign certificate can be checked in time..
