5 good reasons

  • Study across disciplines

  • Study in small groups

  • Try out what you learn in projects

  • Learn from teaching staff with experience outside university

  • Decide what you want to specialise in

It's a match if

  • you have a bachelor’s degree from a related field

  • You like to look at the whole picture

  • You solve technical problems easily

  • And organisational problems, too

  • You’re not afraid of maths

What it’s about

Any given number of components can only function as a system if they work together as a whole. You don’t only want to understand the individual cogs but the gearbox – or even better the whole system it is part of. You like to think big. Because the best software is useful only if the technical components work, too. The magical word we will teach you in this master’s degree programme is system integration.

Course structure & majors

In the first two semesters of your studies your timetable is made up of a mix of compulsory modules, profile modules of your choice and projects. The compulsory modules include mathematical topics such as simulation and numeric but also strategic product development and data bases.

The profile modules will allow you to specialise in topics of your choice: Do you want to know more about drive systems? Or are you more interested in product automation or object-oriented modelling? The list of modules offered varies each semester.

You’ll try yourself and what you learn out in projects right away which will help you to train your technical skills as well as skills such as project management and working in teams.

In your third semester, you have five months to write your master’s thesis. You can do this in cooperation with a company if you like.
