Which are the Master's courses available for students?

Communication Engineering

The aim of the Communications Engineering Master’s course is to prepare students for demanding roles in management, research and academia. Building on the broad principles established by a relevant Bachelor’s degree, the course will enhance understanding of:

Higher mathematics, numerical mathematics and electromagnetic field theory, which are required for demanding technical subjects. The technical subjects provide a grounding for demanding roles in electrical engineering and computer science. The technical subjects that are required for demanding roles in communications technology.

Embedded Systems Engineering

Master’s degree unites two areas that have traditionally been regarded as separate: computer science and communications technology. Alongside in-depth lectures on electrical engineering, computer science and information technology, special lectures on data processing, information technology and communications networks will allow students to choose their own study path.
Graduates will enjoy promising career prospects in IT managerial roles or the prospect of completing a doctorate in Germany or elsewhere. Graduates therefore typically find themselves working at the interface of communications technology where computer and message technologies meet, putting such technologies to use in the development of new systems and services. Future careers may include:
The analysis, project planning and assessment of mobile communications and wireless information systems.

Mechanical Engineering

Are you interested in developing, producing or marketing sophisticated technological products, all while greatly improving your job prospects on the global market? Then our Mechanical Engineering master’s programme is for you.
This master course of study gives you a second degree which enables you to start your career right away and increases your career opportunities compared to having completed the bachelor degree alone. You will be taught in-depth knowledge and methods for engineers in different positions, ranging from product development to production and distribution as well as customer service. Thus, you will be enabled to independently work on optimum solutions. You will learn to utilize engineering methods and findings of the latest state of technology as well as to develop new methods.

Computer / IT /Software Engineering (M.Sc)

M.Sc. will be able to tackle the demanding conceptual and innovation-led projects typical of the IT industry. They will also be able to make independent contributions to research and, later in their careers, take on senior roles. Students will build on the principles and methods learned in their Bachelor’s degree; thereby enhance their knowledge of information technologies and the ability to apply them. They will also deepen their knowledge of current research in specific areas.

Students have the choice of two study paths. For the Intelligent Networked Systems path, modules include the internet of things, context-adaptive systems, neuro-informatics and organic computing as well as distributed systems. For the Interactive Systems and Visualization path, modules include graphic data processing and visualization, interactive systems, the design of interactive teach-learn systems, multimedia systems and scientific visualization. Both paths involve compulsory in-depth computer engineering modules: component-based and pattern-based software development. Via a seminar, students learn to work on and present technical issues.

Power Engineering

Master’s degree aims to prepare students for demanding roles in management, research and academia in the area of power engineering. Building on the broad principles gained from a relevant Bachelor’s degree, the Master’s degree will deepen awareness of:
Electromagnetic field theory as well as the higher and numerical mathematics required for technically demanding subjects.

The technical subjects that provide the basis for demanding roles in electrical engineering and information technology.

The technical subjects required for demanding roles in the areas of electrical power engineering and automation technology.

Data Science

Big data is booming – but the experts are missing. Data must be viewed from different perspectives, the correct conclusions must be drawn and existing data questioned. As a future data scientist, you will be optimally prepared for these new requirements in our extra-occupational training program. With our online distance learning course, you will become a globally sought-after data science expert and learn to use huge amounts of data profitably using the latest technologies. The steadily growing amount of data and the resulting high demand for specialists offer ideal prospects for future-proof training and very good career opportunities.

While a degree in computer science, mathematics or statistics was initially considered a good foundation for a data scientist, the area of data science has meanwhile developed more and more into its own interdisciplinary area of knowledge.
