Modules (nontechnical)
1st Semester
System design – a status update
The technical realisation of heterogeneous and complex systems is
continuously creating higher standards for system design. The number
of system functions implemented in software, the level of networking
of technical systems and the level of integration of electronic circuits
are increasing continually.
The objectives of the course are adapted to these new requirements
and system design capabilities and underlined with teaching content
on the following specialisations:
►► Methods and tools in system design
►► Hardware/software system synthesis
►► Design, modelling/simulation and test of selected systems
(automation systems, embedded systems, optoelectronic
systems and mixed signal systems)
►► Creating functional and requirement specifications
Communication and foreign language skills will continue to be taught.
Course Objectives
In addition to refining students’ knowledge of mathematics and natural
science, the objective is also to cover the fundamentals of system
design. The mandatory subjects include a broad range of system and
information technology applications. Students have the opportunity
of developing technical areas of spezialisation for themselves within
elective and specialist discipline modules and for their Master thesis.

Course Overview
Career Prospects
The System Design Master's degree is a consecutive course
comprising 3 semesters. A complex hands-on project is carried out in
the 2nd and 3rd semester. Writing the Master thesis and a colloquium
at which findings are presented represent conclusion of the course.
The course can also be completed as an extramural course.
This way students develop the ability to work independently using
scientific methods, as well as to develop and be proficient in new
systems, including research and development work.
The course is accredited by the ACQUIN Certification Institute.
The course offers a balanced mix of basic and specialist knowledge
facilitating access to many modern, demanding areas of activity
in research and development for graduates. The Master's degree
represents an excellent starting point in industry and at research
institutions, as well as for any further qualification requirements.
