Finishing Touches for International Career Opportunities
Technology shapes our lives – it develops at a breathtaking pace, it poses increasingly complex challenges and offers almost unlimited career opportunities. In order to meet the great demand for skilled specialists, Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences offers this Master's degree programme in Engineering Sciences with lectures conducted in English.
By advancing and specialising knowledge acquired at the Bachelor's level as well as offering a wide variety of interdisciplinary content, this course prepares students for challenging engineering activities while teaching them project and leadership responsibility.
Technical Know-How and Soft Skills
The programme is devised as an application-focused course. Its aim is to provide its students with advanced and specialist knowledge in engineering and related areas on a scientific foundation.
Students have the opportunity to specialise in a particular area by choosing one of the following specialist fields in accordance with their particular interests and career aspirations:
In addition to providing advanced training in engineering, the course is intended to promote general skills such as teamwork, intercultural communication, and English language skills.
This is supported by the Master's project, which is conducted as a group project in a situation that is as realistic as possible. Students learn methodological skills to organise and complete complex tasks as well as work effectively in a team.
Education Without Borders
Thanks to extensive foreign relations with European and worldwide universities and companies, students can complete a semester abroad at any time during their studies. The International Office will be happy to answer any questions regarding this.
The course contents over the three semesters are independent of each other, so there is no fixed sequence order. However, the majority of courses are offered only once per year.
About 60 to 70% of all courses contain lectures combined with exercises or practical lab class exercises.
Part-time studies are possible on request for candidates who are working in parallel. For part-time studies, the programme duration is six semesters instead of three.
For international students without industrial experience, it is recommended to include an industrial internship semester after the two theoretical semesters in order to gain practical experience.
Though this is not an official requirement for completing the Master's programme, it usually provides a very good opportunity to develop a Master's thesis topic together with a company in the industry.

The Alps and the idyllic Chiemsee – a lake near one of the most famous castles built by the "fairytale king" Ludwig II – await you with year-long recreational activities like winter sports, water sports, and spas. Rosenheim and its surroundings also feature a full calendar of entertaining cultural events. From classical to jazz, pop, and rock, the Culture and Congress Centre in Rosenheim regularly hosts music concerts, guest theatre performances, and social events – there's something entertaining for everyone.
