Internet of Things and Smart Systems (Master)

Create breakthrough innovations with software products and go beyond the obvious and the ordinary! Whether it‘s effectively monitoring industrial plants remotely, tracking a vehicle fleet, or maintaining logistical supply chains. The potential of digital value creation is huge: already now, many billions of devices around the world interact in the Internet of Things, as the IoT has long since arrived in all parts of the economy.

Its uses range from goods tracking in real-time to logistics, building management and predictive maintenance in industry and much more. The IoT accelerates business processes and is decisive for companies‘ success, enabling new business models and services. Creative minds are needed to develop just such applications and devices.

As an IoT student, you will learn the technical and business fundamentals to develop innovative products. You will gain the skills to tailor these products to your customers and make them user-friendly by focusing on one of three areas: design and usability, business, or advanced programming skills. The best way to predict the future is to invent it!
