General Information

The positive development of the regional labour market in the ICT sector has resulted in an increasing demand for skilled professionals. With its degree programmes in the field of technical sciences, the University of Klagenfurt makes a significant contribution to the training of highly qualified graduates in the ICT sector. The University of Klagenfurt Technology Scholarships were established to attract more highly qualified students to these study programmes.

So far, in cooperation with the Carinthian Chamber of Commerce (WKO) and Federation of Austrian Industries (IV), scholarship holders have been supported in finding a paid internship in the first year of their Master’s degree programme.

Based on an agreement with the University of Klagenfurt, the OeAD – Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation publishes the call for applications, accompanies the selection process, awards the scholarships and offers its services to the selected scholarship holders before and during their stay in Austria.
