Career Perspectives

karriereperspektive

Automotive IT graduates aim to work in the field of development, market launch and supervision of innovative car communication systems and safe software. They can develop bus- and communication systems and safety concepts for vehicle systems.  Vehicle Systems graduates aim to work in the field of development and testing of innovative functions to improve ride and handling, stability, driveability and fuel economy.

Automotive Systems students have the possibility to work on projects that have been commissioned by the industry. One example is the development of battery management systems using modern cell simulator and microcontroller technology. Our graduates typically continue to a range of occupations from middle to top management. The yearly starting salary of our graduates is, on average, between 50,000€ and 70,000€.

Work in the field of development or test innovative functions to improve ride and handling.

This awaits you

The programme is designed for students who wish to become highly qualified engineers in the field of automotive systems, who wish to work in the development of feedback control systems, automotive software and automotive electronics.

You have questions about studying in germany? Contact our student ambassadors to get insights into study and life in Esslingen.

Right from the start of the programme, it quickly became clear that ¡°thinking in systems¡± is trained and consolidated across all lectures. In addition to the basic mathematical lectures, great emphasis was always placed on systems theory in the subject-specific lectures. Nevertheless, the reference to the real system was always maintained.
The focus "Vehicle Dynamics" dealt in depth with the analysis, simulation and control of systems.
