Master of Engineering in Autonomous Driving

This Master of Engineering programme at Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts focuses on autonomous driving, blending theoretical knowledge with practical, project-centred learning. Students work in interdisciplinary teams to develop autonomous systems from concept to prototype, using agile methodologies and human-centred design. The curriculum covers sensors, AI, vehicle networking, and safety, with a strong emphasis on real-world application through partnerships with companies like Valeo and Motherson. The programme is fully taught in English, though German is optional for supervision and thesis writing. Graduates gain expertise in autonomous vehicle technology, preparing them for careers in automotive engineering, AI, and smart mobility solutions.

• Develop autonomous vehicle systems from concept to prototype through interdisciplinary teamwork and agile project management.
• Conduct research and implementation of sensors, actuators, and AI algorithms for environmental perception and decision-making.
• Design system architectures, safety concepts, and navigation algorithms for autonomous vehicles.
• Apply deep learning, data fusion, and localisation techniques to real-world projects.
• Collaborate with industry partners to integrate theoretical knowledge into practical applications.
• Present project progress through oral demonstrations and written reports in each module.
• Conduct a Master’s thesis, ideally in collaboration with a company, to apply learned skills to a real-world problem.
