Profile of the degree program

The Master’s program “Development and Management in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering” allows you to actively shape your profile. You have the opportunity to put together your modules individually and thus decide for yourself whether you would like to deepen your knowledge in the technical areas of both mechanical engineering and automotive engineering.

Alternatively, you can focus solely on mechanical engineering or automotive engineering. Another option is a combination of technology and management (industrial engineering). The choice is entirely up to you!

What we value

Flexible study structure

The course is designed for three semesters full-time. However, thanks to the flexible course structure, you can also gain practical experience alongside your studies. If you show outstanding commitment, it may also be possible to graduate after two semesters in consultation with the course director. A reduced course load is also possible, allowing you to complete your degree in a maximum of five semesters.

Interdisciplinary and versatile

The Master’s degree program is interdisciplinary and open to everyone.

We welcome graduates from the fields of general engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information technology, mechatronics, physical engineering as well as graduates of industrial engineering or a related course of study.

Study internationally

Coburg University of Applied Sciences offers the opportunity to complete a study or practical semester abroad. To this end, Coburg University of Applied Sciences maintains relationships with foreign partner universities.

Further information is available from the university’s Study Abroad service.

Studying with in-depth practice (PraxisPLUS)

Studying with in-depth practical experience in the PraxisPLUS model offers you the opportunity to gain more practical experience during your studies – without extending the duration of your studies. The prerequisite is a work contract with a company/institution. You can apply your knowledge from the lecture directly at work. The work in the company is remunerated. This in turn makes it easier to finance your studies.

Course content and schedule

The study concept provides a great deal of freedom of choice for the modules. In addition to a compulsory practical project (module group “Engineering work”), the final thesis and the colloquium (module group “Final thesis”), you will take a total of eleven compulsory elective modules from three specializations (module group “Compulsory elective modules”). Of these, at least four modules must come from the “Technology” specialization and at least three modules from the “Management” specialization. In addition, you are free to choose modules from the “Cross-section” specialization. The module selection can be adapted to the current needs of the industry.

The module plan provides an overview of the structure of the degree program. The module handbook provides information on the content of the individual modules. The study and examination regulations form the legal basis of the degree program. Questions about the content of the degree course will be answered by the course director Prof. Dr. Philipp Precht.
