BSc Transport Engineering at University of Stuttgart

They dimension transport infrastructure (including roads, rail networks, and airports) and develop systems for controlling traffic flow and develop sustainable mobility concepts for both passengers and goods. They also deal with new drive technologies and the resulting requirements for infrastructure.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time, German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

What you will study

Transport engineers work in an interdisciplinary manner to meet society's demands for an efficient transport systems. The programme therefore combines subject areas from civil engineering, environmental engineering, electrical engineering, automotive and engine technology, mechanical engineering, urban planning, and economics. The study programme is part of the engineering disciplines and can be broadly divided into the following five areas: Approximately 20 % mathematics and mechanics Approximately 10 % electronics, computer science, and similar subjects.

Career pathways

A wide range of opportunities are open to graduates – including positions at transport companies, government agencies, consulting or software firms, in logistics, or in research (with a Master’s degree). Tasks range from planning and optimising transport networks and facilities, to developing new mobility concepts, conducting environmental and cost analyses, or working on digital applications. Planning and operation of transport systems (road, rail, air).
