Automotive Software Engineering
Chemnitz University of Technology
Program Overview
The Master's programme in Automotive Software Engineering is a computer science-oriented programme. Developers of automotive software systems will be confronted with highly complex hardware/software systems in their future occupation. Highly important fields of application for these systems are vehicles and aeroplanes of all kinds. Designing these systems requires specialised skills in the area of software engineering and system design. These skills are taught in this Master's programme. The Automotive Software Engineering Master's programme is research-oriented. A major reason for this is its integration into the main research field of the faculty: Embedded Self-Organising Systems (ESS). Research-related teaching contents are incorporated directly into this Master's programme. Additionally, in the third semester, a research-relevant seminar and a research internship or project are part of the curriculum. The degree programme is structured in such a way that students have an exceptionally large range of options in which to specialise, e.g. in Automotive Software Platforms or in Software Verification.
