If you’re aiming for a career in the semiconductor industry, the Master’s program in Integrated Systems & Circuits Design at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences is the perfect starting point. What makes it so unique is its holistic, practice-oriented approach. You won’t just learn theory–you’ll gain hands-on experience with all aspects of chip design, from concept through analog and digital design to testing and manufacturing. Once you enter the industry, you’ll find that you’re among the few engineers who truly understand electronics at all these different levels.

My two years in the ISCD program were intense, but they fundamentally changed my life. The program laid the foundation for everything I’ve done since then: from designing microcontrollers for advanced automotive systems at Infineon Technologies to founding my own deep-tech startup and running a successful media channel focused on semiconductors. Whether you want to stay in the region and work for the incredible local tech ecosystem or use your degree anywhere in the world–ISCD equips you to succeed at the highest level in the industry.
