study details
description
The Master of Science in Engineering is a degree programme offered jointly by the Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences, providing personalised training in engineering and IT . With a total of 14 areas of specialisation, termed 'profiles', a wide range of choices is available. Bern University of Applied Sciences offers master’s degrees in nine profiles:

Business Engineering
Computer Science
Data Science
Electrical Engineering
Energy & Environment
Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics & Automation
Medical Engineering
Photonics

The practical focus is of prime importance in all profiles, accounting for two-thirds of the course; the training objectives depend very much on the needs of the future employers.
Conclusion
As a Master of Science in Engineering, you will be equipped to work in leading positions in research and development departments. You will undertake challenging tasks in your area of expertise or generalist positions. After completing your studies, you will have well-defined methodological and management skills that enable you to further the development of new products and services as well as entire organisations.


After graduation,
  • you’ll have more in-depth knowledge of mathematics
  • you’ll possess specialist knowledge of various engineering sciences
  • you’ll successfully apply your knowledge to calculation, simulation, analysis and verification
  • you’ll understand how to develop products and processes in research using the latest technology
  • you’ll be able to investigate complex cause-and-effect relationships with standard and proprietary methods
  • you’ll be in position to successfully communicate with business partners and position yourself internationally
  • as a project leader or manager in the organisation, you’ll be able to find solutions with others and implement them in practice
study outlay
The master’s degree programme is practice-oriented and is based on one-third basic training (theory) and two-thirds specialist in-depth training (practice).


Basic training
The Master of Science in Engineering course teaches basic knowledge (30 ECTS credits), which is offered jointly by the Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences and divided into three module groups:

  • Technical scientific modules TSM
  • Extended fundamental theoretical principles FTP
  • Context modules CM


Technical specialisation and profiles
You can complete the specialisation at a research unit – usually the BFH institute to which your workplace is assigned. The specialisation course comprises 60 ECTS credits and includes the following components:

  • Project theses 1 and 2
  • Master’s thesis
  • Supplementary events, supplementary modules
target group
Graduates of a bachelor’s or diploma degree programme of a University of Applied Sciences with good to very good academic achievements are admitted to the master’s programme.
further details

Im Zentrum des Studiums steht der Bezug zur Praxis, was den MSE von einer Ausbildung an einer Universität unterscheidet. Die Bedürfnisse der Industrie prägen die Ausbildungsziele des MSE mit und fliessen direkt in den Unterricht und die Projektarbeiten ein. Auch die Master-Thesis wird in der Regel in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Unternehmen erarbeitet.

Als Master of Science in Engineering haben Sie Zugriff auf verschiedenste Fachgebiete im Ingenieurwesen und profitieren vom Know-how eines gesamtschweizerischen Netzwerkes von Expert*innen.
