Course schedule
This 7 semester program consists of 2 semesters of basic studies (basics in mathematics, natural sciences and electrical engineering), four semesters with compulsory modules and selectable specialization modules and a practical semester in industry. Practice-oriented labs with state-of-the-art measurement and lab equipment are integral parts of all study phases.
Basic studies, compulsory modules and a fixed canon of specialization modules from the field of automotive engineering are supplemented by German as a compulsory language in order to facilitate integration, e.g. in the practical semester in a German company.
Practical orientation is a key element in all of our study programs. We believe that practice-oriented teaching with a strong laboratory component can offer foreign students a high level of added value.
