Students have to plan their individual schedule of lessons.
Planning the individual schedule of lessons for the masterprogram Automotive Software Engineering
is a two step process. First, the complete masterprogram over all semesters must be planned. In this step
different optional lessons can be selected in order to set an individual focus. It is VERY IMPORTANT
to plan first the complete masterprogram.
Then, in a second step the schedule of lessons for the actual semester can be planned. Hereby the actual offered lessons must be recognized. The list of lessons in winter term differs from summer term.
| Step 1: | |
|---|---|
| Use faculty's planing tool: Studienplaner This helpful planning tool is based on the actual study documents. Please read the following hints!
|
|
| Step 2: | |
| Now, you may plan the list of lessons for the actual semester. Therefor the central list of lessons is the relevant basis. Our central tool for planning the actual semsteter is: Mein Stundenplan Please read the following hints!
You will find an overview in form of a table. All study modules which can be choosen in the running semester are listed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What are the examination performances in the subject “German as Foreign Language”?
The examination consists of two parts:
- a written exam (leads to A2-certificate) and
- a translation task, which can only be performed and credited, if the A2-certificate is passed.
- Is there a registration necessary for the translation task in the subject “German as Foreign Language”?
Yes, you have to register for the translation task in OPAL, which is possible at the beginning of each semester. - Who can be the supervisor of the master thesis?
Advisor of the master thesis can be every professor from the department of Computer Science (link to the professorships), but the professorship should be related to the topic of the thesis. - Is it possible to prolong the editing time?
The student can make an application with giving reasons for prolonging the editing time for up to 6 additional weeks – if the reason is illness, a medical certification is necessary (link to the form).
The research internship will be offered at the Computer Engineering chair under supervison of Prof. Dr. Wolfram Hardt. For excellent students, further external research internships in the domain of embedded & automotive systems at different companys are possible.
During this internship you learn basic skills for scientific working and thinking. Major work packages include literature research, conceptual design, implementation, structured tests as well as critical analysis, discussion and technical documentation. Each student has to learn to act on his own accord over a longer time period in order to solve/process a given research project.
This course is also open to other computer science master students. The research internsip is suitable for all master students after the 2nd semestre. It is always offered at the SS and WS. If you undertake a research internship at a company beginning during the semestre is also possible.
requirements:
- registration per OPAL-course Forschungspraktikum/Research Internship
- complete registration documents
- 30 credit points
note:
- registration
A registration about the OPAL course must always occur.
It is necessary that your documents are complete. This means in particular the declaration of your current credit points and the "summary of achievements". In case of an external research internship the topic with a description of your task as well as the responsible person in the company must be given. Only complete registrations will be further processed.
- report
The report must have a cover, a table of contents and literature list and enclose at least 18 pages with content. In case of an external research internship the company must confirm the report with stamp and signature.
The responsible supervisor should rate the achievement. For this the rating sheet which is handed over with the topic confirmation is to be used.
The research internship report and the rating sheet has to be sent to ce-teaching@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de not later than one month after finishing the research internship.
- external research internships
In case you organise independently a research internship at a company, the topic and scope must be confirmed BEFORE BEGIN. Otherwise no claim to acceptance exists. Hence, the registration must be also carried out for external research internships. Following you get notice about confirmation within one week.
You receive the necessary certificate about mandatory internship with the acceptance notification.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is a registration necessary?
Yes, it is mandatory to register before the research internship begins. Keep in mind that the registration is binding. Also keep in mind to register your research internship early enough before planned start because we need at least 2 weeks for final approval.
- How long does the research internship take?
It takes 12 weeks.
- Can the research internship be longer than 12 weeks?
Yes, it is possible, but only 12 weeks are mandatory – all time exceeding 12 weeks is optional.
- Can the topic / the company be changed?
Yes, for one time. But then, the first internship has to be aborted (mark 5.0) and the second has to be registered again.
- Is there a template for the internship report?
No, there is no dedicated template. The report has to meet the standards of a scientific report. Use the outline provided in the guideline for the master thesis (link to the guideline) as an orientation.
- What about the contents of the internship report?
The report of the research internship is a scientific work – no diary, which means it follows a structure and statements have to be proofed.
- What amount shall the report have?
The amount is 17 – 22 pages. If this range is undershot or exceeded it leads to a degradation of the mark.
- Are there any formal requirements to the written report, if the internship was performed in a company?
Yes, it needs to be stamped by the company and signed by the supervisor. - What to do if I have further questions?
Contact via email ce-teaching@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de. Please note, that the handling time is at least 7 working days (Saturday and Sunday are not business days). Please do not spam the ce-team – you will receive an answer!

The master thesis is the first scientific report for master students. The master thesis must be presented at Technische Universität Chemnitz. The topic of a master thesis is related to actual research in automotive software engineering. The master student will prove by the master thesis and the presentation the ability to solve a given problem within a limited time frame with scientific methods. Advisor of the master thesis can be every professor from the department of Computer Science (link to the professorships), but the professorship should be related to the topic of the thesis. Please note that every professorship can have additional rules for supervising a master thesis. The master thesis must be written by the student himself. All used references must be cited and included into the reference list. Aim of qualification: For further information see study documents, page 62. Students who choose a master thesis topic form professorship Computer Engineering see hints for registration, organisation and editing.
Students from other faculties In general, students form other faculties can apply for a master thesis topic from faculty for computer science. Therefore some regulations are necessary. Interested students send their: - report of research project - actual student profile with subjects and degree (Leistungsübersicht) and - named concrete research area for master thesis topic to ce-teaching@cs.tu-chemnitz.de |
