BA/BS in Applied Research in Engineering Sciences (M. Sc.)

This research master's differs from classic master's programmes. Instead of a large lecture programme, the centre is a personal research project that runs throughout the whole period of study, leaving room to apply scientific methods in real research and development projects and to specialise in one of ten future fields. In the first semester students work into their topic through literature review and scientific analysis. The second semester brings practical implementation, for example building a test rig, developing new algorithms or carrying out measurement series. The master's thesis then emerges in the third semester. Because all three pieces build on each other, students do not start the thesis from zero. From the beginning they are embedded in a research group. The programme is offered by Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), and applicants submit their application through the university's online portal. A semester-by-semester module overview is available on the programme page for anyone planning their studies.
