About the Program

The Master's program in Automotive Engineering is structured in three semesters. The first semester covers necessary mathematical and engineering knowledge, along with current topics in the 'Future Topics' module including Connectivity/Autonomous Driving, Smart Factory, Electromobility, and Hybrid Development Methods. Two non-technical modules cover strategic and operational business management, patents, standards, and product liability. In the second semester, students choose one of four specialization areas: 1) Connectivity/Autonomous Driving, 2) Smart Factory, 3) Electromobility, or 4) Hybrid Development Methods. Each specialization includes three specific modules tailored to the chosen focus. Students also complete a project work related to their specialization and select two elective modules. The third semester concludes the program with a Master's thesis and colloquium, typically completed in an industrial or research setting.
