Compare my optionsThe programme
The increasing use of electronics in drive, in chassis, and in equipment of modern automobiles as well as the replacement of whole subsystems by technologies such as X-by-wire are important milestones in the automotive industry. The vehicles of tomorrow will be different. Take the higher voltage electrical and electronics systems for example. A 42 volt battery in place of today's 12V system is one change that is coming. Digital wiring harnesses are another.
- How it is organised
- In particular, the Master's programme teaches the engineering-scientific approach within the range of automobile development. It explains the language and symbols to be used in automobile projects.
- Internships
- An internship of 12 weeks may be inserted between semesters. Programme advisers will assist students in finding an appropriate internship.
- Part-time work
- Whether you can work alongside your studies depends on several factors. At the beginning, it is advisable to focus on your studies and adjust to a new academic and cultural environment.

From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Ingolstadt
Bavaria's first university town, now the home of Audi and a technical university that teaches in English.
Ingolstadt sits on the Danube in Upper Bavaria, with about 140,000 residents. Bavaria's first university opened here in 1472, and the town was a fortress for more than 400 years, so the old centre is a ring of gates, towers and brick walls around a castle.
