About the programme

The M.Sc. Embedded Systems Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen is a four-semester, two-year programme worth 120 credits on the Duisburg campus, taught half in German and half in English, with a start in the winter or summer semester. It teaches how to integrate hardware and software in computer-aided systems for a wide range of uses, from telecommunications such as smartphones to robotics with distributed sensors and actuators and applications in automotive and automation technology. You gain in-depth knowledge of hardware and software, supplemented by computer-aided development and testing methods, and learn to handle complex decisions in the development and production of modern technologies. Because embedded systems are used in almost all engineering disciplines, graduates can follow many career paths in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and IT, often in managerial positions. The programme suits people who want to help develop future technologies.
