They measure, test, analyze and are the "sense organs" of tomorrow's technology: sensors. Where they are integrated, technology becomes really exciting. Because small sensors and sensor systems equip technology with intelligence.

You always test your knowledge in a practical way on very specific topics, but you can still apply for a wide range of jobs after graduation: in regional industry as well as in smaller engineering offices or at research institutes.

Solutions and ideas for sustainable climate protection, for smart cities, smart grids or smart factories, for Industry 4.0, autonomous driving or digitized agriculture - in all these areas, the know-how of environmental and industrial sensor technology plays an essential role. With your knowledge, you are just as much in demand in the development departments of industry as you are where the concrete application of sensor systems is concerned, for example in climate and environmental protection.

Do you want to actively shape the world of tomorrow with your knowledge?

Then this degree program is a great choice!

The program is practice-oriented and comprises seven semesters. - The first semesters focus on the fundamentals of mathematics, physics and chemistry, which form the foundation of your studies.

In the course of your studies, we will teach you a broad spectrum of fundamental knowledge and applications of physical, biochemical and chemical sensor principles for the various fields of work in environmental analysis and sensor technology, industrial sensor technology, analytical chemistry and biochemistry. This includes a thorough knowledge and understanding of modern sensor materials.

Building on knowledge and skills for electrotechnical interconnection, data acquisition and programming, the processing of complex sensor data, the networking of sensors and the use of modern IT technologies form an important part of the curricula.

Part of your studies will take place in our physics and chemistry labs, in the atomic lab and in the clean room lab, which is second to none in Bavaria. The heart of research in the field of sensor technology is the SappZ - the Sensor Application Center, where we work together with industry on new projects. This is an immense advantage for our students: Because here they can work on real projects, complete an internship or thesis, and benefit from contacts with industry.

You can find out more about the SappZ here: https://www.sappz.de

Studying at our faculty is practical and a lot of fun. No wonder, because it has always been particularly important to us that students feel at home with us right from the start.

• Relatively small faculty & family atmosphere
• Personal supervision & intensive support
• Practical learning in small groups & in laboratories
• Best contacts to the economy: from renowned institutes to regional industry & world market leaders
• Good conditions for exciting internships & Co

Your studies also include practical training in laboratories, which you complete alongside the lectures. In addition, the entire fifth semester is reserved for an internship that prepares you for your career. 
How do you find a good internship? - With our excellent contacts to smaller companies and to large global corporations here in the region, but also abroad, we are happy to help you.

Are you curious about other countries and cultures and would like to gain experience abroad as part of your studies? - Our partnerships with international universities, especially in Asia, are the perfect prerequisite for this. We are also happy to help you with the preparations and advise you on which courses make sense in advance (languages, intercultural competence, etc.) and how an internship or semester abroad can also be financially supported.

The internship coordinator and the internship office will support you in all aspects of your internship:
