Study Automotive Electronics part-time

In this degree programme, you will be provided with comprehensive training in specialist areas that pose significant challenges to the automotive industry. You will expand your knowledge and skills in all aspects of automotive electronics and their programming and development and will be prepared to apply this knowledge at your place of work. The skills you acquire and the academic degree "Master of Engineering" qualify you to take on complex specialist and management tasks.

In the first three semesters, you will complete the six modules of the Master's degree, which range in content from system-level analysis of the entire vehicle to communications architecture and the field of electromobility.

The courses take place in blocks and comprise six modules. These are essentially thematically self-contained and therefore also allow you to take singular modules within the framework of our modular studies. This ensures that individual requirements can be optimally adapted to personal and professional situations.

You will find a module overview below:

• Module 1: Vehicle system-level analysis Module
• Module 2: Fundamentals of electronics and physics
• Module 3: Functions development and lifecycle management
• Module 4: Functional and software development methods Module
• Module 5: Current and future communication architecture Module
• Module 6: Electromobility and innovative approaches

The Master thesis is written in the fourth semester.

The Master thesis is written in English and should be completed in the fourth semester, but no earlier than after 40 credit points have been earned. A total of 90 credit points must be earned for the degree. If the Master thesis is completed without the support of the employer, an extension of the study programme is to be expected.

The modules take place in the form of week-long blocks from Saturday to Saturday (excluding Sunday) from 08.15 am to approx. 16.45 pm with classroom attendance. To make it easier to plan your professional and private activities, all dates are fixed before the start of the study programme. The detailed timetables are announced well in advance. The early notification of all dates and the block week system allow you to easily combine your studies with a full-time job and private commitments.

All courses take place on the OTH Regensburg campus. The entire infrastructure of the university is available to you during your studies (IT equipment, library, student house, cafeteria, university sports etc.). You are enrolled as a regular student.

This study programme is accredited and bears the seal of the Accreditation Council.

The accreditation was issued on 29 June 2015 by the Accreditation, Certification and Quality Assurance Institute ACQIN.

There are several admission routes that lead to entry into the part-time Master programme in Automotive Electronics:

• You have studied electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, computer engineering or completed another related degree programme at a German or foreign university and graduated with a diploma or bachelor's degree (overall examination result of 2.9 or better).
• In addition, you can provide evidence of at least one year of relevant professional experience. Proof of three to five years of professional practice would be ideal.
• Furthermore, you can demonstrate English language skills comparable to level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Foreign Languages. You must be familiar with basic English-language terms from the field of electronic engineering and be able to present technical facts orally and in writing.
• If German is not your native language, you can provide evidence of written and spoken German language skills of at least level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Foreign Languages. Here you can find information on recognized proof of German langue skills.
• Along with these certificates, you will also take part in a consultation interview. The dates for the interview will be announced well in advance.

If you cannot yet provide evidence of the required one year of professional experience, you can take individual modules in advance in the form of modular studies. If you enter the programme at a later date, we will credit you for the module achievements both in terms of content and financially.
