About the programme

Embedded Systems Design (ESD) at Hochschule Bremerhaven is a three-semester Master of Science taught exclusively in English, with admission every summer semester. Embedded systems combine mechanical or mechatronic parts, electronic control and software, and they sit in almost every product, from washing machines to satellites. Modules such as Digital Systems/VHDL, System-on-Chip Design, mechatronics, real-time software and discrete control systems prepare you to develop and implement innovative embedded systems. The first semester lays a sound foundation, with modules such as Safety and Reliability, for the application-oriented courses of the second. Graduates work mainly as development and research engineers for car makers and suppliers, medical technology, aerospace, industrial automation, robotics, and measurement and testing technology. It suits engineering graduates who enjoy control engineering, mechanics, digital technology and software development.
