About this programme
The topics of process monitoring, fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant systems are becoming increasingly important in research and industrial applications. This is due to the constantly growing requirements for high system reliability and availability. In the context of Industry 4.0 in particular, there are innovative applications in control and regulation technology that go beyond traditional areas of application such as mechatronics. These include distributed systems and working methods that have emerged through the merging of traditional specialist areas. The Master's degree course of study builds on the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor's degree course of study in Electrical, Electronic and Communications Engineering. Students deepen their knowledge of automation and control engineering methods and their implementation in computer-aided systems. A further focus is on the mathematical modelling and simulation of automated processes. Through interdisciplinary courses in the natural sciences, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science, students acquire the necessary knowledge to work on challenging problems and solve complex automation tasks. The career prospects for graduates are diverse. Possible areas of employment include design, planning and project management in fields such as automation technology, process technology, production control, energy technology, building control technology, traffic control and automation in the automotive and aviatio
