Energy and Automation Systems (Master)

Do you want to get to grips with new techniques, methods and procedures in the field of energy and automation systems and get to the bottom of things? Do you want to qualify further and reach the next milestone on your career path with a Master's degree in "Energy and Automation Systems"?

Our Master's degree programme qualifies you for excellent engineering work in a future-proof field of work.

This Master's programme has an applied focus. The high proportion of project-based learning in individual work and groups requires and supports teamwork and communication skills as well as independence, creativity, openness and plurality in addition to your professional qualifications. You will acquire the ability to quickly familiarise yourself methodically and systematically with new fields of technology and science.

The standard duration of studies for the Master's programme is three semesters and comprises 90 ECTS credits. Six compulsory modules, which characterise the study programme, are supplemented by offers from the compulsory elective area. In addition to courses from the range of engineering subjects, you can also choose modules from the Master's programmes of other departments.
 

The curriculum can be customised through the selection of projects. These can be based on ongoing research projects and worked on in the university's own laboratories. Together with the Master's thesis, 40 ECTS credits can thus be organised in a project-related and specific way.

First degree qualifying for entry into a profession with 210 ECTS credits or a standard period of study of at least 7 semesters in Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Industrial Engineering (specialising in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related discipline with an equal proportion of electrical engineering). 
Applicants with degrees with fewer than 210 ECTS credits must complete the points missing from the 210 ECTS credits by completing modules from the Bachelor's degree programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology or Engineering and Management. The overall grade must be 2.5 or better. In the case of a lower degree, an application for admission to university studies can be made on the basis of evidence of very good specialist knowledge in the field of electrical engineering and information technology. Decisions are made by the Examination Board.
The applicant must have sufficient German language skills corresponding to at least DSH 2 level.
