Electromobility, Autonomous Driving and Mobile Robotics, B.Eng.
Engineering developments in the automotive industry are shaped by two major trends: autonomous driving and electromobility. Electric cars, robotic vehicles and computer-aided driver assistance systems are the means of transport and locomotion of the future. Since the winter semester 20/21, the Deggendorf University of Technology has been offering an attractive bachelor's degree that trains specialist staff in this field: electromobility, autonomous driving and mobile robotics. In this course, you will learn the subject of "Modern Mobility" from the perspective of electrical engineering and drive technology. This course is aimed primarily at those interested in studying who want to contribute to the electrical, electronic and control engineering side of the development. If you are enthusiastic about electrical engineering and modern mobility, this course offers you two specializations for your professional career: electromobility and autonomous driving / mobile robotics. Interesting research and development projects await you especially at the Campus for Modern Mobility in Plattling, which you can work on during your studies.

The automotive industry is one of the most popular employers for engineers, especially here in southern Germany. Also for you as an electrical engineer: in the automotive and supplier industry offers attractive jobs. Especially when it comes to modern mobility. If you have decided on electromobility as a specialization, you can apply your knowledge of the entire chain of effects of electric vehicles on the job. Starting with the supply at the charging station, to storing the energy in batteries, to intelligent power electronics for drive motors. You can also work in the field of hydrogen technology after you graduate. If you have decided to specialize in autonomous driving / mobile robotics, you will later work on autonomously operating systems on streets or in production facilities. The application of model-based methods is part of your professional practice, possibly also PLC programming or machine learning. If you want to be successful in this job, it is best to have a good feel for interdisciplinary and often international teamwork. Thinking ahead and enjoying trying out your solution approaches should be just as natural for you as the will to advance the technology. In the electromobility, autonomous driving and mobile robotics degree course, attention is paid to a wide-ranging, qualified basic training that enables you to do all of this. There are job opportunities primarily in companies in the automotive and supplier industries. But also in public service administrations and in private practice. As a graduate: You can expect engineering activities in the following areas:

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German B2 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Directly to the university, winter semester until 15.07 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to B2 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
