Automated Driving and Vehicle Safety

Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)

About the Program

Automated driving has the potential to drastically change the mobility of the future and thus the automotive industry. Due to the broad spectrum of challenges, the development of automated driving is a particularly interdisciplinary field and requires in-depth knowledge of both engineering and computer science. The Master's degree programme, mostly held in German, addresses this need in order to qualify students for the development of systems for safe automated driving. In addition, the theoretical-scientific basis of the students is to be broadened to enable them to pursue a doctorate or work in the scientific field. The programme comprises two full-time semesters of coursework followed by a third semester for the Master's thesis, which can also be written in a company as part of practical work.
