The study contents are based on essential content of the study programme Automotive Engineering (approx. 85%).... The study programme is supplemented with content from Education (approx. 15%).
Whether you choose to pass on your knowledge to young people or pursue a career in traditional engineering. Both paths are open to you.
As a vehicle technology engineer, you will work at the interface to Mechanics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Management after your graduation. As a specialist in the key disciplines of Automotive Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, you find yourself in demand on the labour market, and all sectors are open to you.
The Bachelor’s degree certifies that you are able to teach technical content. Among other things, a career in commercial education and knowledge management is open to you.
A subsequent Master’s degree at the PH Ludwigsburg qualifies you as a higher education academic lecturer (“Lehrkraft im Höheren Dienst”) with teaching qualifications FZ (Automotive Engineering) and FT (Production Engineering).
You apply for this program online via the campus management system HEonline of the Hochschule Esslingen.
For admission to the engineering education degree programme, you need proof of a 12-week preliminary internship.

Do you love technical and digital challenges? Do you enjoy passing on knowledge and can you imagine working in training and further education? Do you like working with young people and would you like to teach later? Then this degree programme will be an interesting option for you. After graduation, you decide whether you want to work as an engineer or in education and training or apprenticeship.
I chose Hochschule Esslingen – University of Applied Sciences primarily because we have a super practical focus. We have a lab – the CAST – where we can work on vehicles during lecture time. For example, we also have a laboratory with an engine test bench. It’s a lot of fun to apply the theoretical content directly in practice.
Tamara Cirillo, student in Engineering Education Automotive Engineering – Mechanical Engineering
Both paths are open to you: A career in training, further education, apprenticeship or the classic route as an engineer.
You will link your theoretical knowledge in numerous laboratories, project and group work with practice.
