Master Programme Automotive Software Engineering
In the programme concept of the department of Informatics the master programme Automotive Software Engineering constitutes the logical continuation of the bachelor programme Applied Informatics with the focal points Embedded Systems and Information and Communication Systems as well as the bachelor programme Informatics with the minor Electrical Engineering or similar bachelor programmes. It is incorporated in the main research areas of the faculty.
Holder of a bachelor degree in the degree programmes Informatics, Applied Informatics and Information and Communication Technology will be confronted with highly complex hardware/software systems in their future occupation. A highly important application field of these systems for the German industrial location are vehicles and aeroplanes of all kinds. Designing theses systems requires skills in the area of software engineering that go far beyond the education received in the course of the bachelor programmes Informatics, Applied Informatics as well as Information and Communication Technology. This area is covered by the master programme.
The master programme is research-oriented. A reason for this is its integration into the main research field of the faculty: Embedded Self-Organising Systems (ESS). Research-related contents of teaching are directly incorporated in this master programme. Additionally, in the third term one research-relevant seminar and one work placement are part of the curriculum which aims at the teaching of scientific working methods. Eventually, the degree programme is structured in a way that students have an exceptionally large range of options in order to specialise in a problem from the topic of the main research area.

The successful completion of the study allows the smooth transition to doctoral programmes and the execution of challenging activities in the field of technical development of control systems for vehicles, aeroplanes and machinery.
For example, the following fields of activity are prospective occupations:
- Automotive industry
- Aerospace industry
- Mechatronics control systems
- Robotics

The core of the degree programme is the continuation of the following subject areas:
- Computer engineering
- Operating systems
- Real-time systems
The master programme is based on three thematic pillars:
- Automotive Software Engineering
(Multi core programming, software engineering, optimisation in compiler construction, formal specifications)
- Embedded Systems
(Hardware/software co-design, operating systems for distributed systems, adaptive control)
- Real-time and Communication Systems
(Introduction and intensification of real-time systems, protocols of distributed systems)
In the first two terms the contents of teaching of the bachelor programmes Informatics, Applied Informatics as well as Information and Communication Technology are continued and intensified. Furthermore, various fundamental aspects of software design for embedded systems with a focus on automobile systems are taught in the course of lectures and tutorials. The specific characteristic is the holistic consideration of hardware/software systems.
In the third term the transition from hearing lectures to interactive work is made. Technical topics are incorporated into an advanced seminar. Parallel to this seminar students will work at a research placement at an informatics faculty or, optionally, with a company. In this research placement the contents taught will continuatively be researched and, if possible, already applied. This combination of teaching in the first two terms and the continuation as independent work forms an optimal foundation for the master’s thesis in the fourth term in which the students deal self-reliantly with a subject matter of their main research area.
Besides the three thematic pillars of the degree programme, a fourth pillar,
- Informatics (elective module), key competencies
