All Informatics degree programmes focus on Applied Informatics. Hence, most lectures are complemented by practical courses (at most 30 participants) in order to provide hands-on-experience. The programmes aim to provide the students with problem-solving competences and knowledge of the fundamental methodologies, so that they can easily adjust to technological paradigm shifts. Additionally, there is a close connection to the research activities (research-driven teaching) where each Master specialisation is supported by at least two internationally reputed research groups.

https://www.aau.at/en/tewi/

The research groups (Information Systems, Intelligent Systems and Business Informatics, System Security, Semantic Systems, Information and Communication Systems, Interactive Systems, Software Engineering, Distributed Systems, Multimedia Communication) run nationally and internationally funded research projects and co-operation with the industry. Besides that, all groups contribute to the universitys key research area Networked & autonomous Systems as well as the multi-disciplinary research areas Energy Management & Energy Technology and Self-organizing Systems.

The institute is committed to the legal objectives of the universities and the "constructive alignment" approach. This means that, quality teaching is given when the social, institutional and curricular objectives are reached as well as students are supported in their learning process by active engagement and by including links between research and innovation. Lifelong learning is considered as the principal concern involving recognition of prior learning and student-centered learning.

https://www.aau.at/erziehungswissenschaft-und-bildungsforschung/

The scientific work at the institute is focused on basic research, applied research and evaluation research, which are in the tradition of critical-constructive social science. Through the use of qualitative and quantitative methods as well as through regional, national and international cooperation, comprehensive research is carried out in the departments as well as across departments and institutes.
