Descriptions
Studies in the Automotive Engineering Degree Programme aim to provide students with the skills for the machinery, metal technology and automotive technology-based activities associated with materials and surface engineering.
The programme emphasises practical orientation, user-centred approach, learning by doing, problem-solving skills, collaboration skills, in-depth knowledge of professional subjects and internationalisation. The optional courses support multidisciplinarity and ensure that graduates in automotive engineering have a solid and applied understanding of their field.
Specialisation options are Materials and Surface Engineering.
Development
The curriculum is developed in cooperation with businesses and industry. The main content of the curriculum is discussed at the meetings of the Degree Programme Advisory Board.
