Course of study
Each of our 4 Master Programms in Engineering (Automotive Systems Engineering, Mechatronics and Robotics, Electrical Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering) offer a focus in Research which can be studied fully in English language.
Enrolled in the focus Research you work intensively in a research project (30 ECTS) under supervision of one of our professors. For your application, you need to apply to one of the below listed research topics. If you are interested in one of these topics and you need further information, please contact the mentioned supervisor by email well before applying to the programm. The research topics have been internally assessed in a defined process in order to allow for research on a high level.
Aside from the research project you have a mandatory lecture in Research Management (5 ECTS). For the remaining 25 ECTS of lectures you chose from a broad range of engineering topics. The choice of the lectures is done in accordance with the supervisor of your research project.
The program ends with your Master Thesis (30 ECTS) and a required peer-reviewed publication.
Please do not hesitate to contact us (contacts see below) well in advance in order to clarify all open questions.

On 17 July 2023, Marisa Ehemann and Moritz Allmendinger successfully presented their scientific papers prepared in the research focus of the Master's degree programme Electrical Systems Engineering at the IEEE - International Conference on Industrial Informatics, INDIN 2023 in Lemgo. In both of the students' research projects, the industrial application of artificial intelligence for system prognosis and the integration of reinforcement learning was developed. The projects were supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Nicolaj Stache and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Tränkle. The Master of Engineering with the focus on research offers the opportunity to work intensively on a research project and to publish the findings in a scientific paper.
