We also value your involvement in R&D projects. With your work during the studies, we invite you to help shape the transfer of knowledge between practice and research. 

    The Master's degree program Computer Engineering focuses on research into industrial image processing applications. Increasingly powerful processors are opening up new and interesting solutions in the automatic evaluation of images from industry and medicine. Together with our scientists, you as a student can actively develop algorithms that enable the reliable and efficient assessment of defects and anomalies.  

    During the studies, we attach great importance to linking our field of work with other technical disciplines in our department. We work on many interdisciplinary questions and look forward to your collaboration in these areas.  

    Your studies will focus on know-how relating to software, hardware, signal processing and networking technologies. You will also acquire social and management skills to optimally prepare you for future management tasks.  

    • In the Software module, you will learn more about hardware-related programming and the use of real-time operating systems. 
    • Hardware includes design and simulation techniques for the development of digital circuits as well as sensors and actuators as interfaces to process peripherals. Other focal points are digital signal processing for processing sensor signals and technologies for networking small computers. 
    • In the lectures, you will learn more about fault-tolerant systems for safety-critical applications (e.g. in the field of autonomous robots and autonomous vehicles or in clinical engineering). 
    • In the area of personal development, the focus is on social skills - from communication skills to leadership and management know-how.
