Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Master of Science (M. Sc.)

Die standard duration of this master’s degree is three semesters. The first two semesters consist of lectures, exercises and practical courses before you move on to focusing on writing your master’s thesis during the third semester. The programme is application-oriented,

with subjects taught in free-standing modular components. This means you can start studying in either the summer or winter semester. The introductory module in the fundamental principles of driver assistance systems runs in both the summer and winter semester. Students starting in the winter semester can take this instead of an elective module (complementary skill).

Students starting in the winter semester can take the introductory module in the fundamental principles of driver assistance systems instead of a compulsory elective modules.

Compulsory elective modules enable you to choose the aspects you wish to specialise in. You can choose between completing your master’s thesis in either a company or one of our university laboratories.
Students can switch in either direction between full-time and part-time study. The same admission criteria apply to both options. For further information, please consult the Module Handbook (Downloads section).

The university awards students who successfully complete the programme the academic title Master of Science (M.Sc.).

The continuous development of cutting-edge driver assistance systems plays a pivotal role in making the German automotive industry internationally competitive. This generates high demand amongst automobile manufacturers and suppliers for qualified engineers with state-of-the-art specialist knowledge in this field.

Your master’s degree prepares you to play an incisive role in development and assume a demanding position in commissioning and monitoring these systems. However, the knowledge you acquire can also be used beyond the automotive sector. Sensor systems, environment recognition and sensor data fusion are major topics particularly in the aerospace industry and automation engineering. Assistance systems will also become increasingly important in medical technology as the population continues to age.

To be eligible for admission to this programme, you must have achieved a “good” overall grade in your first degree in either electrical/electronic engineering, information technology, mechanical engineering or equivalent at a German or foreign university.

We ascribe to the values of openness, tolerance and acceptance. Our aim is to teach everyone involved at Kempten University of Applied Sciences about education in an international context. As part of this aspiration, we support university-wide, inter-faculty measures to promote international projects and cross-cultural interaction.

The master’s degree programme in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems benefits from a cooperation agreement and academic exchange programme with the Shibaura Institute of Technologies in Tokyo (Japan). We also run an Erasmus exchange programme with the Master of Engineering in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles at the Institute of Technology Sligo in Ireland.
