    The module overview in the degree programme provides a graphical representation of the course content over the three semesters, including a chronological order and distribution of ECTS credits.

    The Master's degree programme in Systems Engineering was the first degree programme ever to be accredited by an academic organisation by the Gesellschaft für Systgems Engineering https://www.gfse.de/de/.

    This additional accreditation of the university as a training provider certifies the depth of content and practical relevance of the degree programme in terms of conformity with the guidelines of the International Council On Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Prof. Dr Matthias Dorfner, who is responsible for the accreditation process, is particularly pleased that graduates of the course are now eligible to take the "Certified Systems Engineer - Level D" certification examination. This high-quality personal certification underlines the quality of the degree programme and makes it easier for graduates to successfully enter professional life.
