Automation Technology

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Digitalisation is advancing into ever more areas of our economy and society; what has been termed 'Industry 4.0' is a point of intersection between production and up-to-the-minute information and communications technology. This Master's degree course teaches advanced technical and scientific competencies in the planning, management and optimisation of complex automation processes. Graduates leave ideally equipped for high-level technical and management roles in system design, planning, development and implementation and in technical product management and sales. The program focuses on three main areas: control engineering (multi-dimensional and nonlinear control systems), energy engineering (decentralised energy supply systems and drive technology for mobile systems), and information engineering (embedded control systems and real-time programming). The course includes a team project in the second semester and concludes with a Master thesis.
