StudyQA — Master: Embedded Systems for Mechatronics — Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts

Description Contents Requirements

The master study course Embedded Systems for Mechatronicsleads to a degree whichqualifies individuals both in the field of scientific research as well as in ar-eas ofprofessional practice. They are being prepared for technical careers but also for seniormanagement assignments in technical projects. Furthermore, a subsequent career inacademic research is also an option.If the master’s Exami-nation has been passed, Dortmund University of Applied Sciences andArts, Fachhochschule Dortmund, awards thedegree Master of Engineering (M.Eng.).It confirms that the students have acquired the advanced professional expertise as well asthe methodological and key skills required in order to work inde-pendently in theirprofession, and that they are capable to work independently in an entrepreneurial contexton the basis of scientific findings and methods.The master programme will be completed in 4 semesters within the standard courseduration. A teaching programme with compulsory courses in the first and second semesterprovides basic competences and enables the students to de-velop their distinctive profilewithin the scope of their main focus areas. This is combined with a 2 semester researchphase with electives and thesis projects. Through the subject range offered by the RuhrMaster School (RMS), the compul-sory elective studies are integrated in a cross-universitynetwork. This offer is completed by international, project-oriented components andsummer schools as well as symposia. The workload for the courseof studies amounts to atotal of 3,600 hours (900 hours per semester), including time for the master‘s thesis. Tosuccessfully complete the course of studies, a total of 120 credit points accord-ing to theEuropean Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)must be ob-tained

Required degree

Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Engineering (at least 180 ECTS), Diplom-Engi-neerin the field of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or InformationTech-nology; or foreign equivalent with a final grade or mark of at least „good“ (2.5).It must have included relevant competence in the areas of Software Engineering, ControlEngineering, Signal Processing and Systems Engineering (cf. Study and examination regulationon www.fh-dortmund.de/pruefungsordnung).Course programmes at foreign universities must include a final thesis comparable to thecourse programmes at German universities with regard to the minimum qualityrequirements.An expertcommittee of the Master Course Embedded Systems for Mechatronics will check if theserequirements are achieved.

Proof of English language skills

Applicants need to proof their language skills in English, certified by a Test of English as a foreign language (TOEFL)not older than two years at the time of ap-plication. There are twoformats for the TOEFL: internet-based TOEFL with a score of 90 or TOEFL ITP (Institutional Testing Programm)with a score of 550. Also ac-cepted are other tests, e.g. IELTS with ascore of 6.5 or equivalents. In excep-tional cases the evidence can be submitted by meansof an equivalent certificate or test results demonstrating the relevant minimumrequirements (equivalent to C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR )). The Expert Committee decides whether equivalence is demonstrated.
