Descriptions

Degree Programme in Automotive and Transport Engineering

· Automotive Design Engineering
· After Sales Engineering
· Automotive Electronics Engineering
· Transport Logistics

Students who graduate from this study programme are mainly employed by vehicle dealer organisations or other companies in the automobile branch: vehicle industry, component manufacturers, oil industry, insurance companies, companies involved in logistics, etc.

The education is supported by modern Laboratory of Automotive Engineering, specialised in three sections: Testing technology, vehicle prototyping and research (emissions, fuel consumption and arctic mobility). Graduate studies carried out in these facilities offer an extremely good chance for a wide variety of future personal careers as an Automotive Engineer.
