What do insulin pumps, dishwashers, solar collector systems, high-speed trains and modern sewing machines all have in common? They all function because they have one or more microprocessors housed within them.
These embedded systems mean that washing machines are able to use less electricity and less water, cars have improved fuel economy, wheels do not spin and airbags inflate at the right time. Saarland University is now offering a Master's degree programme in this very strong growth area.
The M.Sc. programme 'Embedded Systems' allows students a great amount of freedom and flexibility in selecting modules and course content. A number of research projects being carried out at Saarland University in collaboration with major IT companies provide opportunities for students to gain valuable insight into industrial processes while still studying at university.
The excellent staff-student ratios and the first-rate technical infrastructure mean that students on the Saarland University M.Sc. programme study quickly and efficiently. The computer science and informatics department at Saarland University has numerous international partnerships and cooperative agreements that allow students to incorporate a study-abroad semester seamlessly into their Master's study programme.
Graduates from the M.Sc. programme 'Embedded Systems' can take up positions in industrial or academic research and development in the domestic or international markets.
The M.Sc. programme 'Embedded Systems' requires students to accumulate a total of 120 ECTS credits (120 CP). Typically, students should aim to acquire 30 credits per semester.
Students can earn a total of 42 credits during the compulsory stage of the programme; 30 credits for the module 'Master's thesis' and 12 for the accompanying module 'Master's thesis seminar'. The Master's thesis is to be completed within six months. Before completing their thesis, each student must contribute successfully to the Master's thesis seminar on a subject directly related to the project work carried out for the student's thesis.
The study programme includes modules in following areas and students are required to acquire:
Students must acquire at least 17 ungraded credits in the compulsory elective part of the programme. This can cover modules from core lecture courses, advanced lecture courses or seminars relating to embedded systems; work performed as a course tutor or supervisor in problem-solving classes, language courses, soft-skills seminars, industrial work placements or internships, or departmental or university-related administrative duties.
