Digital Engineering

The use of digitally networked systems is progressing in all industrial sectors. The developments that can currently be observed under the buzzword Industry 4.0 are essentially based on the continuous digital mapping of all steps of the value chain of industrial production. From the planning phase through design/draft and the production process to the lifecycle monitoring of the products (e.g. also buildings), virtual product and process models are networked with each other in order to accelerate development processes, increase the quality of the products and optimize production processes. These developments therefore require well-trained specialists who work at the interface between computer science and engineering. The course created jointly by civil engineering and media informatics at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will provide you with flexible and interdisciplinary training for the challenges of tomorrow's professional world. In the Digital Engineering Master’s degree, we attach great importance to introducing you to current research questions early on, which are defined and supervised together with industrial partners, via projects accompanying your studies. The Digital Bauhaus Lab, as a state-of-the-art research facility of the university, offers the best conditions for this.

Study location Weimar

Despite its small size and its picture-book character - Weimar is not a sleepy provincial town. Whether for art and culture lovers, night owls or gourmets - in addition to Goethe, Schiller and the Bauhaus, Weimar has a lot more to offer. And all this in a city center where nothing is more than a 10-minute walk from one another. And the two largest Thuringian cities, Erfurt and Jena, are each only 15 minutes by train.

The many small and large initiatives - temporary showrooms, project workshops, university gallery marke.6, the soap box race SpaceKidHeadCup initiated by students - expand the cultural spectrum of the large institutions Klassik Stiftung Weimar, German National Theater, Buchenwald Memorial, Goethe House, Bauhaus Museum and ACC Gallery. Four cinemas, several cabaret stages, more than 20 other museums and various student clubs and concert events still impressively underline Weimar's importance as the European Capital of Culture in 1999.

And there are also many opportunities for student initiatives: For example, you can support the interests of your fellow students in the student council. Or you can become part of the Maschinenraum - the initiative for programming, soldering, discussing and repairing computers.
