Mobile Systems

Our age is characterised by multi-mobility. Whether networked transportation, mobile communication or the intelligent control of our homes – we are networked and on the move everywhere at the same time.

During the three-semester course, you'll take courses from the Digital Mobility and Product Management specialisations as well as advanced modules and elective modules.

You'll also work in a team on a research project on a current topic.

On the one hand, digital mobility encompasses the mobility of the user in connection with mobile devices and applications, i.e. movement in virtual space. On the other hand, it is about the mobility of information, i.e. the transportation of digital information across time and space, which forms an important basis for the Internet of Things. Current software technologies such as containerisation play an important role here.

Product management of mobile systems requires a systemic, holistic and sustainable approach. We provide in-depth knowledge for identifying, evaluating and designing IT solutions for mobile systems. You'll learn to coordinate projects in the field of digital mobility in the areas of smart living, smart home and mobile computing. And you'll develop solutions that promote personal freedom and progress. When evaluating mobile processes, modern data analysis and process mining techniques make a decisive contribution to their optimisation.

Next goal: a doctorate?

Our cooperative doctorate programme enables our graduates to embark on the path to a doctorate.

You need a relevant bachelor's degree to apply for the master's degree programme. 

If you don't yet have a degree certificate from your bachelor's degree, then submit your current transcript of grades with the provisional overall grade. You can usually obtain the transcript of records from your university's examinations office. You can submit your final degree certificate at a later date.
