Great freedom of choice and intensive advice
A comparatively large proportion of the curriculum can be individually customized with the help of a study model consultation. Thus, the personal affection and strength can be taken into account to a high degree. Subjects from other disciplines (e.g. computer science or mechanical engineering) can also be included in the study program.
Learning by Doing in an uncrowded study environment
During your study, individually definable study projects in small groups and covering a variable amount of curriculum will help you to actively implement what has been learned and thus to better understand larger contexts – a great advantage of a medium-sized university. The university has many collaborative projects with industrial partners in Germany and Europe, provides possibilities for getting involved in those practical research projects.
Strong research surroundings for digital transformation
The RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau offers an ideal place for an Automation & Control study with a special education profile in digital technologies. Not only the embedded systems area of our Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is a top address in Germany, but the entire Kaiserslautern research cluster is one of the main hubs in Germany for IT and embedded systems technology and a center of innovation with the well-known institutions Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE), Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM), German Research Center in Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), and Max-Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI). During your studies, you will be able to closely cooperate with affiliated companies and research centers.
