Technology shapes our lives – it develops at a breathtaking pace, it poses increasingly complex challenges and offers almost unlimited career opportunities. In order to meet the great demand for skilled specialists, Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences offers the Master's degree programme in Engineering Sciences with lectures conducted in English.
Students have the opportunity to specialise in a particular area by choosing one of the following specialist fields in accordance with their particular interests and career aspirations:
- Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
- Mechanical Engineering and Plastics Engineering
- Mechatronics
By advancing and specialising knowledge acquired at the Bachelor's level as well as offering a wide variety of interdisciplinary content, this course prepares students for challenging engineering activities while teaching them project and leadership responsibility.
Course content
The Master's programme in Engineering Sciences has a standard period of study of three semesters as a full-time programme and a maximum of six semesters as a part-time programme. It includes a practical project as well as a Master's thesis, which must be completed in the final semester.
The programme is devised as an application-focused course. Its aim is to provide its students with advanced and specialist knowledge in engineering and related areas on a scientific foundation. In addition to providing advanced training in engineering, the course is intended to promote general skills such as teamwork, intercultural communication, and English language skills.
This is supported by the Master's project, which is conducted as a group project in a situation that is as realistic as possible. Students learn methodological skills on how to organise and complete complex tasks as well as work effectively in a team.
The course contents are independent of each other, so there is no fixed sequence order. However, the majority of courses are offered only once per year. About 60% to 70% of all courses contain lectures combined with practical lab class exercises.
