The Master's study program Automotive Engineering is primarily intended for bachelor's graduates in automotive and engine engineering, mechanical engineering, and energy engineering.  In addition to providing an extended basic technical and scientific qualification, this study program offers a broad range of courses with a strong research orientation in a high-tech environment.

The first semester focuses on balancing the skills set of the students, ensuring they are all equipped with the same basic knowledge. During the first two semesters, students are able to elect two specialized subjects. In the third semester, the industrial internship and the student research project serve to further deepen the students' knowledge through independent study. The fourth semester is devoted to the master's thesis, which is usually written in one of the two specializations.

Beyond specialized knowledge, personal qualities and methodological skills also play a crucial role:

  • Logical and systematic thinking - the ability to derive general solutions from specific problems
  • Spatial awareness – essential for understanding technical relationships and constructions more effectively
  • Ability to abstract – applying theoretical concepts to practical problems
  • Precision and attention to detail – essential for accurate technical developments.
  • Perseverance, patience and diligence - not every idea leads to immediate success, but if you keep at it, you will find solutions
  • Communication and teamwork skills – many challenges can only be overcome by working together
  • Self-management skills – essential for independent work during studies and future projects
