What will I learn?
Basic subjects
Your university education is founded on a number of basic subjects. These include topics such as engineering mathematics, engineering mechanics and thermodynamics and their application in your subsequent field of work. Building on this basic knowledge you’ll examine the details of automotive construction as you progress through the degree programme.
Engineering subjects, internship and lab work
Engineering subjects include areas such as electrical engineering, CAx, drive technology and combustion engines. You’ll deal with eco-friendly and innovative technologies in automotive engineering and become familiar with the vehicle system and the environmental factors involved. You’ll work on hands-on projects giving you the opportunity at an early stage to combine theory and practice. During your internship you’ll also gain a better insight into the relevant production processes.
Business, law and languages
Alongside the technical and scientific content of the degree programme described above you’ll also be taught soft skills. You’ll acquire the necessary know-how to understand the interaction between commercial and legal considerations in the motor industry taking environmental factors into account. The degree programme has an international outlook and so we place particular importance on communication in English.
