Description of course of studies

The importance of software-based functionality in cars has continuously grown in the last three decades. New functions have dramatically improved a car’s use, safety, and comfort. Along comes a fundamental change in the corresponding development processes, which have to address the fact that almost every part of a car contains heavily cross-linked and software-based functionality. The numerous dependencies between functions lead to new requirements to software and systems engineering.

The automotive industry needs highly qualified experts to create and implement new processes and methods. This growing need oft excellent software engineers with a broad methodical knowledge and deep domain knowledge is addressed by this course of study.

This master study offers a specific focus on automotive software engineering, by combining elements from computer science, software engineering, automotive engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronic, and economic science. By that, programming languages, modelling techniques, tools and processes can be learned in a depth that is necessary for implementing software-intensive systems in cars. Experienced lecturers from the leading car and car supply companies supplement the course offerings and provide the students with exclusive insights in today’s practice.
