Automation technology works at the interface of electronics, computer science, mechanical engineering and economics. The challenge in the automation of technical processes is to achieve an optimum between the usually conflicting aspects of time, costs, quality, resources and the environment. It is essential to consider the entire system instead of optimizing individual components independently of one another. Modular solutions are becoming more and more important.

The automation engineering department of FH CAMPUS 02 offers the following courses of study:

• Bachelor Degree Programme “Smart Automation”
• Bachelor Degree Programme “Automation Technology”
• Master Degree Programme “Automation Technology – Business”

The “Smart Automation” Bachelor Degree Programme combines the two concepts of digitalization and internationalization. The full-time study program is in English from Monday to Wednesday during the day and focuses on Product, Process, Production. The course of study is organized in a “career-enabling” way and combines attendance phases with synchronous online days, so that part-time professional employment is possible. In the 5th semester with the first Bachelor’s thesis, in the technical specialization and in the professional internship in the 6th semester, the transition to the company practice is intensified.

The Bachelor Degree Programme in “Automation Technology” builds on the 3 pillars of automation technology electronics, computer science and mechanical engineering. As an extra-occupational study (Friday afternoons and Saturday all day), you can not only implement the technically acquired knowledge in the accompanying projects, but you will also profit from it in your professional activities.

With the subsequent Master Degree Programme in “Automation Technology – Business”, you will acquire knowledge that will elevate you from a technical specialist to a technical manager. The aim is to carry out management and/or development activities in or for companies at home and abroad with a high degree of autonomy. Therefore, the 3-semester study program (Friday afternoons and Saturday full days) focuses on courses such as leadership and innovation, communication, management, corporate structures in addition to the selected electives.

By entering a study program you become part of a network, which will provide you with valuable know-how even after your education. For example in the context of “R&D” – Research & Development – cooperations, where we accompany you and your company from the idea to the creation of value.
