Applying for a degree course
The programme starts in summer term (March 15th) as well as in winter term (October 1st). Please find all information on our master application pages

Application periods
November 15th – Feb. 15th in case of admission for the summer term;
May 2nd – July 31 in case of admission for the winter term

Admission
The prerequisite for admission to the Master's programme is a degree in engineering science, computer science or a related field with at least 210 ECTS credits.

Qualified applicants are subject to a suitability procedure in which an overall grade is determined for the ranking of the admission procedure, consisting of

• the final grade of the Bachelor's programme with weight 0.6
• a grade with a weight of 0.4, with which a subject-specific suitability, independent scientific work and experience in the field of the design of mechatronic systems is evaluated and determined on the basis of the following criteria:
  - Knowledge in the areas of automotive engineering, control engineering, signal processing, sensors / actuators, modeling and simulation of mechatronic systems, electronics, microcomputer technology, programming, methods of artificial intelligence
  - Practical experience (comparable to a practical semester) in the field of designing or testing mechatronic systems including their software development
  - Project work in the Bachelor's programme with a thematic reference to the vehicle or methods of vehicle automation, which required knowledge of the areas design of mechatronic vehicle components, control engineering, electronics, modeling / simulation, control devices and their programming, methods of artificial intelligence.

The aptitude is considered to have been determined if the aptitude test is rated at least with the overall grade "good" (2.5).

Admission to the master's program requires a degree in an engineering discipline, computer science or a related field with at least 210 ECTS credits.

Since the main language of instruction is German, applicants from abroad must provide proof of German language skills at level B2. English language skills do not have to be proven separately.

Das duale Masterstudium an der THI bietet optimale Karrierechancen. Der duale Master umfasst neben dem regulären Studium eine intensive Berufspraxis im Unternehmen. Er ist konsekutiv und richtet sich sowohl an nicht duale als auch an duale Bachelorabsolvent/innen, die vorher ein Verbundstudium oder Studium mit vertiefter Praxis absolviert haben..

Während des dualen Masterstudiums erhalten Sie von Ihrem Unternehmen ein Gehalt. Die Höhe der Vergütung bei Masterstudiengängen sollte in angemessener Weise über der Vergütung in Bachelorstudiengängen liegen.

Besonderheit: Normale Studiendauer mit deutlich mehr Praxiserfahrung als im regulären Mastertudium

The job profile of the graduates is characterized by tasks in the areas of research and development of algorithms, safety concepts, sensor/actuator systems for safe, automated driving.
