The combination of electronics, computer science, mechanical engineering and business enables automated solutions. Automation engineers always keep an eye on the entire process and optimise sustainably and with foresight. The challenge lies in optimising time, costs, quality, resources and the environment.Individual and modular solutions are becoming increasingly important and we train practically experienced automation engineers in both the bachelor's and master's degree programme.
Increasing productivity and quality is essential for all companies. The introduction and improvement of automated systems and processes subsequently lead to economic growth. The constantly growing demands on automation technology require experts who link the fields of electronics, computer science and mechanical engineering. The best conditions for this are provided in our bachelor's degree programme „Automation Technology” and „Smart Automation” as well as the master's degree programme „Automation Technology-Business”. Lecturers from renowned and successful companies accompany you on the journey where science meets business.
