On the Master’s programme in Automotive Engineering at Ingolstadt University of Technology, you can specialise in one of three areas: integral vehicle safety, simulations in vehicle development, or innovative vehicle structures. Alternatively, you can complete the programme with a broad focus without specialising. You can start the programme in either the winter or summer semester. The Master’s programme can be studied on a full-time or part-time basis.
In the summer semester, you will take the compulsory modules Vehicle Dynamics, Driver Assistance Systems and Innovative Propulsion Systems. You will also choose two specialisation modules and one compulsory elective module. In the winter semester, you will take the compulsory modules Vehicle Electronics and Digitalisation, as well as Vehicle Structure Design. In addition, you will choose two further specialisation modules and two compulsory elective modules.
After completing these two semesters, you will write your Master’s thesis – usually in the third semester for full-time students, and in the fifth semester at the earliest for part-time students.
With a Master’s in Automotive Engineering, you will lay the foundations for challenging roles in vehicle development. A PhD is also an option – opening up many career paths for you.
Job perspectives
