Sensor Systems Technology
Sensor systems in everyday life
In modern society, it is impossible to imagine everyday life without sensor systems. More and more areas of our lives are equipped with sensor systems. We find them in building, traffic and industrial automation, medical technology, logistics, but also in safety and environmental technology.
Trends in research
In this master's program, you will have the opportunity to learn about new developments and trends in applied research in Sensor Systems Technology and to work on current projects even as a student. Today, complex systems evaluate diverse sensors, summarize their data, process them and make them available to the user. The breadth and variety of possible applications is very large and increasing all the time.

Possibility of finding part-time employment
International students who come from outside the EU or the EEA are allowed to work outside of the university for 120 full or 240 half days per year. Therefore, students may work full-time during the lecture-free period or part-time during the semester. As the Karlsruhe region has a very low unemployment rate, chances of finding student jobs are generally quite good. Read more

A graduate reports
Patrick Erlewein: After completing my vocational training as an industrial electronics technician, I decided to study. I was sure that I wanted to continue working in the field of electronics, but at te same time I did not want to neglect my great interest in science, especially physics. The Sensor Technology degree program appealed to me directly because it combined engineering and natural sciences. Since the program turned out to be attractive and exciting, I decided to follow up with a Master's degree in Sensor Systems Technology after completing my bachelor's degree.
