Structure of studies
During the first year your studies will cover predominantly the common studies focusing on building your abilities to study and work in an international and entrepreneurial environment, but we will mix in already some basic level professional studies to ensure you get the flavour of automation engineering as soon as possible!
Second year will mostly finalise your common studies, while adding more professional studies, including first professional modules. You will also start to work on your first project studies. Starting from second year you can also add some elective courses like production simulation or computer aided manufacturing.
Third year will deepen your professional studies to ensure you are ready for your first practical training happening at the end of third year. At this stage you are predominantly studying professional studies utilizing our great laboratories and doing assignments from local companies within the courses.
Fourth year finalises the remainder of your professional modules, lets you build your career opportunities in the second practical training and closing your studies with the thesis work. Quite often the practical training converts naturally into a thesis work place, ensuring you are researching modern day industrial challenges with full support from both the company and our university.
