Automotive Engineering - Bachelor's study program

Information for prospective students

Course content, study program structure, and the application process – guidance and information on the Bachelor's study program in Automotive Engineering at the University of Stuttgart.

Study program structure and content

During your studies, you will learn to systematically analyze and solve engineering problems. You learn not only to apply formulas, but also to derive them yourself and use them to solve a variety of problems. You will develop a deep understanding of theoretical concepts and the ability to tackle complex challenges in research and practice. Incidentally, this is the fundamental difference between studying at a University of Applied Sciences or a Cooperative State University.

In the first four semesters (foundation course), you will acquire a solid foundation in engineering - with courses in mathematics, design theory, thermodynamics and electrical engineering. They deal with sustainable concepts and digital technologies that are changing vehicle technology.

During the last two semesters (specialized studies), you tailor your studies to your personal interests:

  • Automobiles
  • Automotive mechantronics
  • Vehicle drive systems

You will gain practical experience through project work and your Bachelor’s thesis, both based on real-world research and development challenges.

Studying abroad

Intercultural exchange, enhanced language skills, fresh perspectives on your field of study, exciting adventures, lifelong global friendships, personal growth, and a valuable boost to your CV — all this and more awaits you during a stay abroad! Are you interested in studying abroad for one or two semesters, or doing a language course or an internship, or would you like to take part in a summer school? The International Office will help you to make your stay a reality.
