The program includes modules in mathematics, electrical engineering, mechatronics, signal theory and processing, systems theory and control engineering, computer science, numerics, simulation, and artificial intelligence.

For a deeper understanding, students choose one of four areas of specialization based on their acquired knowledge:

• Human-System Interfaces,
• Networking & Collaboration,
• Planning & Control or
• Sensing & Perception.
• The program is rounded off by further elective modules and a Bachelor’s thesis.

• Passion for technology
• Interest in theoretical background and desire to create autonomous systems
• Interest in learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
• A basic knowledge of engineering will make it easier to get started in the degree program
• Perseverance and a willingness to learn, like all degree programs

FAU’s Faculty of Engineering has a wide range of expertise in the field of autonomous systems, robotics and artificial intelligence and thus offers diverse and interesting topics for university study and research or final theses. Practical insights and career opportunities: In the Nuremberg metropolitan region, and especially in Erlangen, there are many industrial companies that can provide insights into later working life while you are still studying, for example through internships or student traineeships. Companies such as Siemens, Schaeffler, Continental, Adidas, Diehl and many others have close links to the Faculty of Engineering.

The degree program qualifies students for jobs in various industries such as automotive, automation and robotics, communications, or industrial services.
