Prerequisites

One of the prerequisites for the admission to this Master's program is a first university degree, with which the necessary engineering background education must be proven as outlined in the exam regulations. Students should have completed 18 ECTS CP in mathematics/statistics (at least 14 ECTS CP in mathematics and 2 ECTS CP in statistics), 11 ECTS CP in mechanics and 5 ECTS CP in the field of basic electrical engineering. Furthermore, they must demonstrate knowledge equivalent to a minimum of 10 ECTS CP in at least two of the following subjects: Construction material science, hydromechanics, thermodynamics, or general physics.

Subject-specific knowledge worth 40 ECTS CP is required. 10 ECTS CP each from this subject-specific knowledge must have been acquired in two of the following areas: Transportation science, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering.

This knowledge must be comparable to that taught in the RWTH Bachelor's program in Transport Engineering and Mobility.
