As part of the Bachelor’s degree program, students are required to complete courses totaling 180 ECTS credits in the following areas:

Studies Introduction and Orientation Phase (StEOP)

Newly enrolled students will be required to complete the StEOP requirements at the beginning of the Bachelor's degree program. The StEOP requirements consists of certain courses that are outlined in the curriculum. Before completing the StEOP courses, you can only get limited academic credit when you take additional courses.

Detailed Information about the Subjects and Course of Study

Additional information about your subjects as part of the Bachelor's program NaSci-Tec is available in the course catalog and in the curriculum.

• Fundamentals of natural sciences for technology. You will acquire an extensive, base-knowledge understanding of chemistry, mathematics, and physics, along with basic programming skills. Once you are in the fifth semester of the program, you will then focus on one of the STEM subject areas. 
• Well-prepared to work at any lab. You acquire expertise that will enable you to work at chemical and physical laboratories.
• Prepare calculations to support processes and systems. You will create and analyze mathematical models related to processes and systems that occur in the natural sciences and in technology.
• Acquire experience to meet society's everyday challenges. Learn how to apply scientific strategies to address everyday, real-world problems.
• Cross-curricular and assessing consequences. You not only learn more about the fundamentals of assessing technology, but also learn how to address impact of digitization, including both the long-term and short-term effects on society and the environment.

• The NaSci-Tec Bachelor's program focuses on educating you to become a scientifically-oriented scientist. You will acquire a base-knowledge education and and interdisciplinary understanding of various subject areas while simultaneously honing your problem-solving skills.
• You will improve your ability to independently acquire, evaluate and communicate scientific information, as well as learn how to work effectively as part of a team.
• To help students prepare to eventually pursue a career in a multinational environment (at international research institutions, at internationally active companies, or at EU institutions, for example), the courses are held in German during the first semester of the program and then partly in English during the subsequent semesters.

Graduates of the Bachelor's degree program Fundamentals of Natural Sciences for Technology (NaSciTech) are highly qualified to pursue professional careers in the STEM fields of chemistry, mathematics, and physics. You have a distinct advantage in that your well-rounded educational background is both experimental and theoretical with extensive, hands-on, real-world training. Graduates are highly sought after, particularly at industrial companies as well as in product research and development. You could, for example, work in the following areas:

• Chemistry and physics laboratories: analyzing samples and processes
• Consulting: developing sound strategies to address real-world issues as well as assessing the impact of technologies
• Industry: implementing, modeling and simulating new processes
• Research & Development: managing and coordinating interdisciplinary teams
• Media: conveying complex, scientific information to a wider audience

In general, and depending on your selected major, your Bachelor's degree in NaSci-Tec is equivalent and comparable to a Bachelor's degree in chemistry, mathematics, or physics, meaning that if you wish to pursue a graduate degree at the JKU, you can enroll in the graduate degree program of your choice without having to meet additional admission requirements. In addition, graduates of the NaSci-Tec program can choose to enroll in the JKU's Master's degree programs "Management in Polymer Technologies" (without any further admission requirements), or Artificial Intelligence (without any further admission requirements).
