Master in Information and Communications Engineering: Autonomous Systems and Robotics (Dipl.-Ing.)

The University of Klagenfurt's Master in Information and Communications Engineering (ICE) is taught entirely in English and awards the Austrian engineering title Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.), comparable to an MSc. The Autonomous Systems and Robotics branch focuses on systems that interact with their environment through mechatronic components: robotics, driver-assistance systems, self-driving vehicles, networked sensor technology and intelligent production. The 120-ECTS curriculum combines required fundamentals, 30 ECTS of advanced autonomous-systems electives, engineering supplements, technical complements, soft skills and a 27-ECTS master's thesis, often carried out with Klagenfurt's well-known drone and networked-systems research groups.

This is a strong fit for Sri Lankan electronic and telecommunication, electrical, mechatronic or computer engineering graduates from Moratuwa, Peradeniya, Ruhuna, SLIIT, KDU or NSBM. There is no special entrance procedure, tuition is the Austrian public-university rate of about €727 per semester for non-EU students, and Carinthia's microelectronics corridor (Infineon in Villach, Silicon Austria Labs, the Lakeside Science & Technology Park) offers internships and graduate jobs close to campus. Austria's 12-month job-seeker residence permit gives graduates time to move into EU engineering roles.
