    • Main instruction language English
    • Annotation of the Higher Education Institution The safety of computer-based systems is becoming increasingly important. For this reason, the University of Kassel offers holders of a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, electrical engineering, mechatronics or computer science the three-semester Master's degree course in Functional Safety Engineering (FUSE).

      The study language of the master courses is English. The students will learn how to use and implement the various safety standards such as IEC/EN 61508, IEC/EN 61511, IEC 61131, and ISO 26262 in industry and science. The necessary methodological equipment for this is acquired from various study modules, e.g. Mathematical Models for Safety Systems, Theory of Safety-related Computer Architectures and Safety Standards and Norms of Electronic Systems. This offers excellent job prospects for graduates in industry and science.

      Part-time study is quite possible due to the course of study in this degree course. Upon request, you can register for part-time studies in accordance with Section 19 (2) Hesse Higher Education Act (HessHG). The specific provisions for part-time studies will then apply. Counselling by the subject-specific student advice service is recommended.

    The University of Ideas

    The University of Kassel is a young and dynamic institution with a wide range of offerings in the natural sciences and engineering, in the social sciences and the humanities as well as in the arts. The University sees itself as an institution at which openness, initiative, interdisciplinary thinking and unconventional approaches are all prized and promoted. This applies to studying, research and teaching as well as to business start-ups, which receive a distinctive degree of support at the University of Kassel. The University is exceedingly well connected in the North Hessen region and in the city of Kassel, one of the economically and culturally most dynamic cities of Germany.

    In its approach to teaching, the University of Kassel places particular emphasis on establishing a close connection to real-life applications. Academic qualifications should be directly related to problem-solving capabilities, to openness for professional developments and to practical social skills. A wide range of courses is offered across areas such as the natural sciences, technology, cultural and social studies. Teacher training is also a traditional strength of the University.

    Research

    At the University of Kassel, scholars, scientists and students confront the big questions of our future – from the effects of globalisation, to managing climate change and sustainable economic systems, to developing new materials and technical systems. The aim here is to develop, test and implement ideas – even when these ideas haven't yet made it to the mainstream. This often calls for an innovative combination of basic research and practical applications as well as interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches.
