Institute for Vehicle System and Service Technologies
One to two third of the vehicle manufacturer‘s revenue is generated by after sales. The Master‘s degree Automotive Service Technology and Processes qualifies you for a career in this multi-billion Euro market.
In order to train you in the best possible way, we focus in this Master‘s degree on three fundamental aspects of the automotive industry: automotive technology, globalized service processes and international management in a highly innovative, technical industry.
As you know, the complexity of modern vehicles has increased rapidly in the recent years. This is due to the increased use of microprocessors in electronic control units (ECUs) and their networking in the vehicle, resulting in new functions in the field of vehicle safety, driver assistance and ecology.
Vehicle manufacturers are facing the challenging task of offering these technologies to global markets regarding the highest quality standards and offering a lifetime serviceability and manageability.
We will educate you in the best possible way so that you will be prepared to be successful in this challenging industry.
"In 15 years of this course, over 260 students already earned their Master´s Degree and work successfully in the automotive industry and other industries all around the world," said Prof. Dr.-Ing. K. Wundram, the manager of this course.
The Master’s degree is divided into three thematic blocks.
In the first semester, the emphasis lies on technology and intercultural aspects. The second semester deals with management and quality. The third and final term consists of two priorities in the field of Vehicle Communication Technology and the integrated internship.
The topics of the Master’s thesis will be worked on during the integrated internship in national or international automotive related industries, to ensure highly practical relevance.
All thematic blocks are linked to each other to support a holistic approach.
The course of study begins with a biweekly team building event for the international students with the aim of promoting intercultural, social competence. The students present the specifics of their culture to each other, thereby gaining insights into foreign cultures themselves.
Good German language skills facilitates living in Germany and makes it much easier to get an appropriate internship in the third semester. You need German language B1 level for admission to master’s thesis. Therefore, we offer German courses starting in the beginning of the first semester.
We will teach you the skills that enable you to successfully play a leading role in the aftersales industry in companies operating locally and globally. You will be able to apply the acquired knowledge independently and in a problem-oriented and interdisciplinary manner. Through the intercultural competence you will be able to interact successfully with business partners worldwide. The study period comprises internships in the industry, which will provide you with the opportunity to gather practice-oriented working experience, to make contacts with potential employers in a very early stage or to expand your already existing professional business contacts. This offers you a wide variety of opportunities for your future career in automotive as well as all other areas of industry.
With the Master of Engineering in Automotive Service Technology and Processes you will acquire valuable technical, strategic and intercultural competences.
Your employment possibilities range from the automotive diagnosis, spare parts management, logistics product support, service training to development of diagnostic methods, market oriented corporate governance and the management of car dealerships – all in an international context.
Positions with vehicle manufacturers and suppliers – both at national as well as in the international range – will be potentially available to you following the completion of this Master course.
