Do you want to contribute to the development of Industry 4.0 and gain a foothold in an innovative professional field? Then the Digital Engineering degree is perfect for you. You have the best prerequisites if you love technology and computers. You have previous knowledge of mathematics, physics and computer science and would like to learn programming languages. You like to solve tricky challenges, in a team or on your own.

The industry is struggling with a shortage of skilled workers, especially with the mega-trend of digitalisation. A huge number of new digital solutions need to be developed. There are a lot of career changers in the development teams because you can’t study “Digital Engineering” yet. That is why I am very pleased that we are training the engineers for the digital economy of tomorrow.
