Every day, freight trains, trucks, aeroplanes, and ships transport enormous quantities of raw materials and manufactured goods around the world, while billions of people travel for work and leisure in the same manner. On the Automotive engineering profile of this MSc in Mobility Engineering: Automotive Engineering, you will investigate how the growth of autonomous driving, electrification, and intelligent vehicle systems will challenge and change the industry in the coming decades.

Although mobility is crucial to the global economy, it has also contributed to rising CO2 emissions. We need creative solutions that combine mobility requirements with sustainable, social and technical developments.

The MSc in Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Engineering (Automotive) will provide you with the necessary technical skills for employment in the emerging 'intelligent mobility' sector. The course focuses on technical and transferable skills within advanced computing, robotics and network-enabled technologies to prepare you for a career within the automotive sector.

MSc in Automotive Engineering The objective of the program, English-taught and developed into four different pathways, is to provide students with competence and skills for the design of vehicles, their components, and their methods and production processes. Students will learn how to work in interdisciplinary teams with a special focus on product and process innovation. They will build on their prior knowledge and connect with experts from different fields of study. They will be able to work in the industry sector and understand corporate dynamics.

Rapid developments in vehicle engineering have led to a merging of the fields of Mechanics, Electronics and Informatics. One cause of this is that vehicles meet customer demands by the optimal interplay of various mechanical and electronic components. Many functions in the areas of comfort, safety and efficiency are only made possible by mechatronic systems.

In this KTU MSc Vehicle Engineering program, you will acquire new knowledge and competencies necessary to meet the challenges of the contemporary transport industry. The curriculum of the program was designed to educate you on the methodology for the development of green vehicles, that can be equipped with hybrid powertrains or running on alternative fuels, and exploration of scientific engineering solutions for improved performance of powertrains.

If you’re a senior vehicle developer passionate about researching and testing the next generation of low- and non-carbon vehicles, then this forward-thinking qualification equips you with the technical knowledge and in-depth training you need. You get to grips with progressive technologies; hone your skills using our state-of-the-art design and simulation tools; and tackle real-world challenges alongside industry partners, graduating with the knowledge and skills to thrive within the fast-paced field of automotive sustainability.

At the end of the Master's programme the students will have a sound base of general scientific knowledge in the field of Automotive Engineering. The curriculum encompasses contemporary issues related to the automotive industry including innovative design, materials science, quality, safety, and ecology. The students will be sufficiently equipped and motivated for a life-long qualification in the field of Automotive Engineering. They will be prepared to implement their knowledge and to cooperate within an organisation.

The master's program Automotive Technology offers a program based on a systems approach, providing multidisciplinary knowledge of today's high-tech automotive industry. There are no comparable programs in Europe. The master's program Automotive Technology at the Eindhoven University of Technology is an outstanding starting point for a successful career.

Our postgraduate course in electrical automotive engineering aims to provide the expertise required to meet the modern transportation market demands. Carefully planned, it consists of a balanced mix between electric power, electronics and communications.

Our MSc in Motorsport Engineering provides a unique preparation for work in the motorsport industry.

This program is part of the Faculty of Automotive, Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering.

The aim of the programme is to equip non-engineering graduates with a S.T.E.M. background to meet the stringent demands of today’s highly competitive industrial environment. On completion of these courses, students acquire a broad understanding of Engineering with a focus on automotive engineering.

The Master's programme in Vehicle Electrical Distribution Systems Development prepares students for professional activity in development, planning, and production in the fast-changing field of physical electrical systems. Future employment may be with automobile manufacturers, suppliers, development service providers, or tool manufacturers, or indeed with companies developing and producing electrical systems for aviation, the railways, or plants. The course conveys skills in, among other areas, electrical engineering (e.g. automotive electronics and electrical systems architecture), mechanical engineering (e.g. theory of mechanical vibration), production and manufacturing technology including logistics as well as management and business administration. The implementation of the programme is supported by companies that are involved in the field of physical electrical systems. There is also close cooperation with these companies. We recommend following this programme alongside in-depth practical experience (dual study). The university may be of assistance in finding a suitable company.

The graduate of this master's degree has the ability to identify important similarities and differences between knowledge about technological innovation in the automotive industry in domain areas of electronic and electrical sciences. Identify the advantages and limitations that robotics offers the automotive industry as technological innovation. Build, improve, innovate areas of studies in automotive electronics and electrical, automatic transmissions, robotics, and optics, and nanotechnology, to make decisions about technological innovation processes in the automotive industry.
