Cybernetics in a nutshell: autonomy, robotics and more

How do you land a rocket? What does it take to make a robot move like a human?

The master’s program Engineering Cybernetics at the University of Stuttgart equips students to master complex dynamic systems through advanced control, modeling, and optimization techniques. It bridges theory and application, preparing graduates to innovate in autonomous systems, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering systems.

  • Located in one of Germany’s leading engineering and economic hubs with strong industry connections.
  • Hands-on projects and industry internships bridge theory and real-world applications.
  • Flexible specializations in the fields of control, optimization, and cyber-physical systems are offered.
  • Access to state-of-the-art labs and interdisciplinary innovation networks enabling cutting-edge research on autonomous systems, robotics and AI.
  •  Since it was established in 1972 at the University of Stuttgart, the study program had great success in forming generations of leading academics, scientists and engineers that have been shaping the local industry.

This study program requires a background in advanced mathematics, systems and control, as well as the modelling of dynamical systems. As these disciplines serve as the basis for the Master’s program in Engineering Cybernetics, we expect that your application shows evidence of courses taken in these areas. Moreover, we expect strong motivation to tackle theoretical as well as applied problems.

To give you a guideline on what we expect as prior knowledge, we prepared a set of selected example problems for your self-assessment.  These problems reflect the minimum level of prior knowledge required for a successful completion of the M.Sc. Engineering Cybernetics program. The problems cover only core baseline concepts and are intended solely for self-assessment and information. They are not part of the application process.
