The topics of the Master’s thesis will be worked on during the integrated internship in national or international automotive related industries, to ensure highly practical relevance.
All thematic blocks are linked to each other to support a holistic approach.
The course of study begins with a biweekly team building event for the international students with the aim of promoting intercultural, social competence. The students present the specifics of their culture to each other, thereby gaining insights into foreign cultures themselves.
