In addition, we require sufficient English language skills, demonstrated by a B2 level certificate. This proof is not required if the high school diploma or bachelor's degree was obtained in English, or if the applicant is a citizen of a country where English is the native language.
German language skills at level A1 are required for further studies. Proof of English language skills is not required for admission, but must be provided by the end of the first semester.
Due to the large number of applications, we are forced to use a rigorous selection process to assess each applicant's suitability for the program. The selection committee conducts the aptitude test in two stages. In the first stage, professional qualifications are assessed through a curricular analysis of the submitted documents (Bachelor's certificate). This includes modules from the fundamental areas (automotive engineering, electrical and communications engineering, microcontroller and signal processing, programming, and software engineering), in which the skills required for the Master's program in International Automotive Engineering must be acquired.
In the second stage, motivation, professional qualifications, and communication skills are assessed in an interview. Applicants with sufficient points in Stage 1 will be invited to the Stage 2 aptitude interview. The aptitude interviews take place in June and July (applications for the winter semester) and in January and February (applications for the summer semester).

Due to the large number of applications we are forced to apply a strict selection procedure in which we evaluate how well an applicant fits to the programme. This aptitude test is carried out using documents provided by the applicant. There is no interview. Experience in specific subjects (e.g. control engineering, can be gained by way of professional jobs, suitable internships, a Bachelor's thesis, and other project work:
knowledge in the fields of vehicle technology, control engineering, signal processing, sensor/actuators technology, simulation of mechatronic systems, electronics, power electronics, microcomputer technology, programming
practical experience (comparable to an internship semester) in the field of design or testing of mechatronic systems for vehicles
project work with thematic reference to vehicles, which requires knowledge of the areas of construction or design of mechatronic vehicle components, control technology, electronics, power electronics, modelling&simulation, control devices and their programming
final thesis of bachelor's degree with thematic reference to vehicles, which was prepared independently and according to engineering-scientific principles
This aptitude test is carried out using documents provided by the applicant. There is no interview. Experience in specific subjects (e.g. control engineering, can be gained by way of professional jobs, suitable internships, a Bachelor's thesis, and other project work:
