51 New AI Experts for the Industry: AI Master’s Program Now Firmly Established at the Technikum

In early November, the UAS Technikum Wien celebrated 51 new master’s degrees in the AI Engineering program during a graduation ceremony. With this, the university is strengthening the pool of skilled professionals in the field of artificial intelligence in Austria. In total, nearly 150 graduates have already completed their master’s degrees in AI and are applying their expertise in the field.

“Artificial intelligence is changing the way products are developed, processes are managed, and decisions are made,” says program director Bernhard Knapp. “Our master’s program systematically prepares students not only to apply AI, but also to understand it, develop it, and integrate it into existing systems. This directly supports companies in implementing AI solutions.”

In-Demand Skills

His studies focused on topics such as machine learning, AI algorithms, software engineering, and the development of intelligent systems. Specializations ranged from computer vision and natural language processing to deep learning and robotics, as well as simulations and interactive digital applications. This combination of algorithmic understanding, software expertise, and practical implementation is in high demand across numerous sectors—from manufacturing and the automotive industry to health tech and smart cities, as well as finance and the public sector.

Now in the Business World

Graduates are shaping the AI transformation in the real world. As employed experts, they support companies—from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations—in addressing current challenges related to AI; as founders, they establish their own companies; or they work in consulting or public administration.

With the most recent 51 graduates, the number of trained professionals from the program has risen to 149.

Enhanced Curriculum

Based on the experience gained in recent years, the program has been further developed: Starting this fall, the new English-language master’s program in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science addresses the increasing integration of AI and data-driven methods throughout the entire value chain—from data collection through modeling and MLOps to issues of security, accountability, and regulation.

Applications are now being accepted

Interested applicants can now apply for a master’s program starting in the fall of 2027. The program is designed for bachelor’s degree holders with a technical background who want to deepen their AI and data science skills and apply them in practice.
