About the Program

The "Automotive Informatics" Bachelor's degree programme is the logical response to the current trend in the automotive industry. In contrast to a Master's programme, the necessary fundamentals of electrical and mechanical engineering are taught right from the start. Furthermore, the programme deliberately teaches a systems approach. Vehicle software is practically always embedded in a technical process. Efficient software development therefore begins at the functional level and not at the programming level of a control unit. At the end of their studies, students will therefore be able to develop complex systems in an interdisciplinary team and not just encapsulated software modules. Nevertheless, this degree programme is a genuine computer science course that teaches all the important skills of core computer science. The aim of the Bachelor's degree programme in Automotive Informatics is to impart knowledge and skills in areas such as development of software-based vehicle functions, modelling and simulation, development of distributed bus-networked function architectures, system design of communication protocols, design of AUTOSAR-compliant software architectures, development of safety-critical systems, and development of vehicle functions for highly automated driving and autonomous vehicles.
