Automotive Engineering
M.Sc.
Overview
Program profile
In the interdisciplinary Master Degree Course Automotive Engineering you will be prepared for a career in the changing automotive and commercial vehicle industry. Motivated by political, ecological and economic conditions, more electrified vehicles with complex driver assistance systems will be developed and produced. To meet these challenges, you will get expertise in the field of “classic” automotive engineering and furthermore in Electrical Engineering and Informatics.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
Graduates of the application- and research-oriented Master Degree course Automotive Engineering will
- understand the constraints relating specifically to motor vehicles,
- be able themselves to deduce automobile requirements and so identify relevant development goals,
- have acquired a holistic understanding of systems and therefore be able to analyze and evaluate the implications of parameter and component variations on a vehicle as a whole,
- have an advanced mathematical-physical understanding which qualifies them to model complex components and systems, and to illustrate their behavior in simulations and evaluate that behavior,
- be capable of designing and dimensioning specific vehicle components based on goals and requirements bearing in mind given technical, economic, legal and social conditions.
With this knowledge the graduates will be able to solve the application-oriented and scientific problems posed in modern automobile design.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Opportunities arise for graduates in all areas of the automotive and motor vehicle sectors, as well as at related manufacturers and suppliers.
Structure
The Master’s Program allows you to create your own individual study course plan. The Program is structured as follows:
- Master Modules, divided into main subject areas motor vehicles, power units, electronics and assistance systems, production and materials, methodology and engineering science flexibilization
- Practical courses
- Supplementary Subjects
- Research Internship (term project, team project, practical research course)
- Key Competences (language courses, soft skills workshops, …)
- Master’s Thesis
The languages of instruction for this program are German and English. In addition to German-language modules, sufficient modules are offered in English, so that it is possible to complete the program both in German and exclusively in English; however, not all modules may be offered in both languages

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. The aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its Master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your Bachelor’s program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.
