Systems Engineering

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

With the factories of the future set to make increasing use of intelligently networked machines, there is growing demand for experts with the technical and organisational skills to supervise and manage all of the processes involved, from the initial product idea through to end-of-life product recycling. These experts need to understand the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, informatics and electrical engineering in equal measure, and they need to be able to speak the 'languages' of these different disciplines. The Master's degree programme 'Systems Engineering' at Saarland University is an innovation-driven engineering programme that is firmly based on the underlying physical foundations of the subject. Graduates from the programme have the skills to understand and exploit the software and technology used in controlling complex systems and processes. Students can specialize in: Production Systems, Systems Design, Information and Communication Systems, Sensor-Actuator Systems, Integrated Systems, Sustainable Engineering, or Robotic Systems.
