Launch your career in the diverse world of automotive engineering and mobility – a field in which creative solutions, analytical thinking and social responsibility are equally in demand. On the Bachelor’s degree programme in Automotive Engineering at THI, you can expect to study cutting-edge subjects covering vehicle development, electronics, digitalisation, design, sustainability and safety.
The first two semesters will provide you with a broad foundation in engineering. You will then deepen your knowledge over four subject-specific semesters and gain valuable experience in a company during your work placement semester. From the sixth semester onwards, you will choose a specialisation: electric mobility or body design/vehicle safety.
Close collaboration with leading OEMs and suppliers opens up a wide range of career paths for you – from the development of safe driver assistance systems and sustainable powertrain concepts to project management. The programme also lays the foundations for a career in motorsport or the high-performance sector, should you wish to pursue this path.
As a future automotive engineer, you will find a job in the automotive industry in particular. As a graduate, you will be able to use the engineering tools you have acquired to take on qualified specialist and management tasks in business and administration.
A degree in automotive engineering will later be rewarded with the most lucrative starting salaries in the engineering field. More on starting salaries and salary development can be found at: www.absolventa.de/jobs/channel/fahrzeugtechnik/thema/gehalt
