Program Outcome
Your degree in Digitalization and Automation
On the one hand, the aim of the Master's program " Digitalization and Automation" is, among other things, to deepen the engineering and data processing knowledge, that have already been acquired in a bachelor's engineering degree program as well as to sustainably improve engineering-technical manufacturing processes in a global context.
On the other hand, the multi-layered knowledge should be intensified to enable students to work responsibly and successfully on the rapidly changing tasks at the crossroads between engineering, data processing, and product sustainability.
Curriculum
The Master's program lasts four semesters, in which you acquire the skills to work in companies in the area of engineering and data processing, but to also be a production manager, factory planner, and strategic planner.
You will gain practical knowledge through numerous projects and case studies in each semester. In preparation for the job market, you will not only acquire the needed theoretical knowledge but relevant knowledge for modern tools to optimize the effectiveness of the processes.
A scientific-theoretical orientation of the master's program is shown in the examination of current research statuses in the lectures, as well as in the preparation of scientific papers.
