This prepares them for today's requirements and future challenges in the aviation industry and qualifies them for a wide range of career opportunities. more >>>

Railway System Engineering (Master)

The drive to shift more traffic to rail means that the demand for railroad engineers is very high. Students receive all the necessary engineering and transportation science knowledge to understand the railroad system in all its complexity and to be able to shape it for the future. The Master's degree program covers all facets of the railroad system, from infrastructure and railroad construction to safety engineering and telematics to railroad operations and public transport. more >>>

Electrical Transportation Systems (Master)

Due to the shift from conventional to electric drives, engineers in the field of Electrical Transportation Systems are in demand worldwide. The degree program includes cross-modal knowledge of the structure, functioning and application areas of Electrical Transportation Systems. The subsystems of energy supply and vehicle are examined as well as the special features and challenges of mobile applications. In addition to general engineering methods, the course focuses on the content of electrically powered transport and the management of projects and transport companies. more >>>
