Sensor Systems Engineering

Master's programme for working professionals (MSc)

Sensor Systems Engineering

Sensor technology, the core subject of the "Sensor Systems Engineering" master's programme, is one of the key technologies of our modern world. The trend in sensor technology is towards increasingly complex systems. Sensor Systems Engineering includes design methods as well as control, communication and information technologies that make it possible to make the complexity of systems manageable. The systems evaluate a wide range of sensors, summarise their data appropriately and make it available to users in a processed form. Sensor systems ensure the efficient use of resources in control loops, increase the safety of vehicles, protect health and lives in Medicine and form a protective shield against terrorist attacks.

More about the course

The Sensor Systems Engineering master's programme combines hardware, software and infrastructure aspects with design techniques and elements of the management of complex design processes. Through this interaction, results can be achieved that the individual elements cannot achieve in isolation. At the same time, this fact shows that graduates need to master management skills in addition to specialised areas of Engineering, Computer Science and Natural Sciences.

Organise your own learning times

Thanks to the blended learning concept, you largely decide for yourself when and where you learn.

individualised

Organising electives

You largely determine the order of the modules and the number per semester yourself.

The School of Advanced Professional Studies (SAPS) is the joint centre for continuing academic education at Ulm University and Ulm University of Applied Sciences.

SAPS offers paid part-time master's programmes and microcredentials (certificate courses) in a blended learning format to optimally support part-time study.

The following qualifications can be obtained at SAPS: Microcredential, Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS), Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) and Master of Science.

Our modern way of providing you with continuing education is blended learning, which combines didactically meaningful face-to-face events - which also serve as networking opportunities - with modern forms of e-learning. Our virtual desk with everything you need for learning is available to you online. Our microcredentials have a maximum of 20% synchronised events, which take place either at Ulm University or online.

Components of the online learning environment

  • Cloud storage for data exchange and collaborative editing of documents
  • Teaching materials, exercises and self-tests are completed on the Moodle learning platform
  • Instructional videos are a central component of knowledge transfer
  • With the remote tool server , simulation environments can be edited directly from a web browser without having to install software on your own computer
  • Video conference rooms are integrated into the learning platform
  • Direct contact with fellow students, mentors and lecturers
  • Webinars held to support learning are recorded
  • Shared course calendar
  • The Nextcloud Collective portfolio software can be used to collaboratively work on learning projects

What students and graduates of the UUlm say

Timo Schindler, Department Leader
I chose the Sensor Systems Engineering study/degree programme at Ulm University because it is not offered at any other university in southern Germany. The special feature is the constellation of part-time study (with a large proportion of online presence and few necessary attendance events at the University itself) and the combination of electronics and management topics on the basis of engineering. I particularly liked the relaxed atmosphere in the lectures and the spontaneity of the lecturers. Another important point for me when studying online is the quality of the lecture notes for the modules offered. All of the modules I attended met this requirement and I am sure that I will be able to benefit from this knowledge in the future. Ultimately, my focus was on compatibility with my appointment, which was more than optimised by the online lectures, the individual study time and the very high-quality scripts.

Studying and living in Ulm

Welcome to the most liveable city in Germany. Albert Einstein's birthplace is a unique combination of science, leisure, top employers and culture. Top locations and events such as the Ulmer Zelt, Nabada or the Donaufest attract visitors to the quaint streets. Here you feel at home!
