Automotive Production
Are you interested in Industry 4.0, smart production, human-robot cooperation and additive manufacturing?
The strong influence of digitalisation on the entire production sector has shaped the term Industry 4.0. With topics such as smart production, human-robot collaboration and additive manufacturing, the Master's degree course in Digital Automotive Production is aimed at engineers with a Bachelor's or Diplom degree who work in automotive production or wish to do so. Due to the similarity of the tasks and the exemplary nature of the topics covered, the programme is also suitable for engineers from production companies in other sectors.

Next level Digital Automotive Production: Smart Factory. Smarter Career.
Once you have gained your first few years of professional experience, you may realise that your tasks are changing: they are becoming more complex, project management and personnel management functions are increasing and your technical production knowledge needs to be refreshed and deepened. These gaps can be closed with this degree programme.
You will learn about the current state of research and technology in Industry 4.0 applications, body and unit production, the potential uses of additive manufacturing, assembly and robotics technology and materials, as well as modern productionmanagement and process simulation methods and the digital factory. Courses in personnel management, business law and cost management as well as project work based on specific examples round off the programme.
