Our Strengths
Automation Systems/Production Informatics at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences!
The Automation Systems and Production Informatics degree programme is characterised by the excellent teaching it provides. The programme content closely follows the latest technical developments: Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things are but two of the many topics which are covered during the programme. Students work in project groups to do research on digital twins, for example. What is a digital twin? A virtual image of the machine which provides information in good time about when a facility needs to be serviced, for example.
Industry is looking for well-trained specialists
The numerous collaborations between Esslingen University of Applied Sciences and its partners from regional industry provide its students with good career opportunities. Students get involved in projects while they are still studying, courtesy of the Baden-Württemberg Industry 4.0 transfer platform. This also affords them the opportunity to make initial contacts with the companies in the Stuttgart economic region - a great advantage when they later come to look for a job.
The Göppingen Campus – one big family
Everything is within easy reach on the Göppingen Campus, facilitating close contact between students and teaching staff which is valued by both sides.
Additional study opportunities, such as preparatory courses or compact courses, make it easier for students to get a basic grasp of their chosen subject.
Explore life on campus
Göppingen Campus offers a wide variety of leisure opportunities. It is home to Café Campus and an indoor bouldering facility as well. And the E.Stall at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences develops and builds its electric racing cars on the Göppingen Campus. Many students live in the nearby student village run by the Students Services Organisation Stuttgart during their time at university and are thus only a stone’s throw away from the campus. If you live outside Göppingen, the VVS-Studi ticket offered by the Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund Stuttgart regional transport cooperative is an economical way of travelling to lectures held on the Göppingen Campus.
Göppingen is an attractive central hub for students. Nature lovers can enjoy the beautiful countryside around the Hohenstaufen, one of the nearby mountains.
