Departments/ programmes

The FH JOANNEUM offers almost 70 bachelor's and master's degree programs and postgraduate courses at six departments and 26 institutes. The six departments are: * Applied computer science * Engineering * Health studies * Building, Energy & Society * Media & Design * Management In addition to broad-based programs, there are courses with specialized focus, such as "Energy, Transport and Environmental Management", "eHealth" or "Advanced Electronic Engineering". Some new programs cover fields which have not yet been offered in Austria as university studies, for example, the midwifery education.

Projects

* One of the largest projects with students participation is the "joanneum racing team". Every year, the students in "Automotive Engineering", "Industrial Design", "Information Design", "Electronics & Technology Management", "Production Technology and Organisation", "Journalism & Public Relations" and "Physiotherapy" construct, build and commercialize a car. The project is based in the course "automotive engineering" and is supported by sponsors. The car is then taken to the "Formula Student" part and other Formula SAE competitions. The greatest successes are the overall win at the 2006 Formula SAE Italy and the 3rd overall rankings 2007 in Hockenheim and at the Formula Student UK 2008 at Silverstone. * Another student project is the magazine "blank" and its companion web site that are created each year by students of "Journalism and PR". * The participants of the courses "Luftfahrt / Aviation", "Information Design", "Industrial Design" and "Vehicle Technology" are also involved in projects in "Green Mobility". In practical projects they contribute new ideas and developments. They are supported by companies in the automotive industry. The development of a drone (UAVS) for civilian operations fall within the scope Green Mobility.
