Automotive Engineering (Master‘s program)
Currently, the conception, development and manufacturing of modern vehicles involves a myriad of aspects: Besides functional and cost-oriented component and aggregate design, factors such as vehicle safety, conservation of resources or changes in people's mobility patterns are gaining increasing importance.
The Master of Science in Automotive Engineering provides you with knowledge of the corresponding new technologies as well as technical and organizational processes and enables you to actively participate in and develop concepts and innovations in professional fields of vehicle and vehicle component development. Since automotive engineering is constantly changing and adapting to the requirements of users and the environment, the course contents of the degree program are also geared towards the ability to absorb and implement engineering innovations for automotive development throughout one's lifetime.
