Automation and Control (A&C) is a research-oriented Master's program. It consists of a core and a compulsory elective part. You can choose between two majors:
- Real-Time Control Systems (RCS)
- Connected Automation Systems (CAS)

Automation and control technology deals with the control and regulation of complex systems such as production plants, distributed networks or on-chip / on-board architectures. The focus is always on robustness and safety.

During your Master's program, you will acquire in-depth knowledge in the areas of control engineering, modeling, the development of safe and robust systems and mechatronic systems. We also offer you a varied elective program to suit your personal qualifications.

Graduates of the master degree in Automation and Control (A&C) are within their chosen majors able to:
• Analyze, describe and structure interdisciplinary tasks in control and automation technology as well as their interaction in current and future industrial and everyday applications
• Calculate, design and use automation and control engineering components, machines, plants and systems
• Design, implement and evaluate goal-oriented technical solutions for practical tasks using mathematical, simulative and algorithmic methods
• Use scientific methods to gain new knowledge
• Work goal-oriented and deadline-oriented in a project team
• Represent and present your goals, methods and results in a structured and target group-oriented manner
• Assess and evaluate your own approach with regard to economic, legal, sustainable and social aspects
• Recognize and close your own knowlegde gaps
