In the Master's program in Systems Engineering, students earn a purely technical Master's degree. This allows graduates of technical Bachelor's Degree Courses to further develop their skills in the engineering field. The goal of this Master's program is to expand and deepen students' qualifications and engineering knowledge in the direction of research and development of complex technical systems. The program aims to impart theoretical, methodological, and systems-oriented knowledge and skills that enable graduates to independently conduct and lead application-oriented research and development projects. StudiumPlus offers the Master's program in Systems Engineering in the following specializations: Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
Studies
Study progress
The standard period of study is three semesters, divided into two semesters of theoretical study and one semester for the Master's thesis. The program is offered in a block format, meaning that approximately every other calendar week, two to three-day blocks (a total of six days per month) take place at THM . As a dual study program, the learning locations of the university and the workplace alternate. Practical training at the workplace is provided through project work.
In the dual Master'sDegree Courses, the theoretical phases are generally divided into three-day blocks, usually taking place from Thursday to Saturday. The project phases are conducted additionally during the lecture period, spanning multiple semesters. The first project phase runs parallel to the first semester. The second project phase encompasses the entire second semester. In the third semester, in addition to two theoretical modules, the Master's thesis is written, culminating in a colloquium.
