Functional Safety For Safe Technology

The comprehensive digitalisation of technologies and the use of autonomous and intelligent systems require increasingly sophisticated safety verifications and advanced safety management. The Master's degree programme in Functional Safety prepares you for these tasks. After successfully completing the programme, you will be qualified to work on challenging projects or to pursue a doctorate.

What you can expect

  • Challenging topics and projects in functional safety
  • Competences of a very high level after graduation
  • A modern campus with well-equipped lecture theatres and laboratories

We offer you a degree programme that will qualify you for advanced engineering tasks and challenging functional safety projects upon successful completion. In our Bachelor's programme, we teach you what is needed in professional life. Here on the Master's programme, we offer you what would be possible in functional safety. This includes advanced approaches, ways of thinking, methods and processes.
