Mechatronics and Sensor Systems Technology

In co-operation with the Hochschule Karlsruhe - University of Applied Science, Germany

Why this program?

From touch screens and cameras in mobile phones to highly automated robots in modern production facilities: it is obvious that sensors and their applications have become a key part of technology in engineering.

According to the current development, a major part of the prospective growth in this industry will be in Asia. Siemens, Bosch or Intel: many companies have just started to shift their production and research facilities to Vietnam and there is already a shortage of highly trained professionals. This is a good reason to participate in the career possibilities. In close cooperation with the industry, MSST responds to the demands of the job market and provides superior graduates to create the technology of tomorrow. This program opens up excellent job and research opportunities for students in many branches of this industry like microelectronics, automotive, environmental technologies or automation.

Here's what you get after the program

  • A prestigious Master's degree from Germany and VGU. Germany is a country with a long and successful history in engineering.
  • An education tailored to the needs of the industry. Besides a broad theoretical knowledge, you gain industry project experience and connect to research centers and industrial companies all over the world.
  • Meet international language needs. A program taught entirely in English, providing the language skills and presentation techniques to communicate worldwide.

Partners in Education

With about 7000 students and 170 professors, the University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe is one of the most important universities for applied research in Germany. "Mechatronics and Sensor Systems Technology" is a combination of the courses "Mechatronics" and "Sensor Systems Technology", that are both offered separately in Karlsruhe. Thus, VGU transfers German knowledge and experience directly to Vietnam.
