The master’s degree course Applied Research in Engineering Sciences aims to provide comprehensive training for engineers looking to work in the field of applied research and development. The course is closely linked to actual research projects, with in-depth teaching modules to match the selected project. Subject-specific orientation will depend on the chosen project topic or courses/seminars. Students can compile their own individual selection from the areas of electrical engineering, IT, mechatronics and related fields.

Contents
The master’s degree course Applied Research in Engineering Sciences enables holders of a good bachelor’s degree or Diplom to acquire a higher qualification in the field of applied research and development.
It is linked to an actual research project, with project work divided into phases over three semesters. In the first two semesters, the project work is backed up by courses that teach practical project management skills as well as providing more in-depth technical and scientific knowledge in selected subject areas depending on the project in question. In the third semester students write their master’s degree assignment. In the case of suitable projects it is also possible to spend time abroad with one of the university’s international partners.
