Future of mobility: Master's course for autonomous driving in Kronach!

When it comes to the future of autonomous mobility, the master's degree in "Autonomous Driving" at the Lucas-Cranach campus in Kronach is a real pioneer. The course uses project -based learning, in which students work together in small, international teams to overcome real challenges. The teachers act more than coaches that not only support the students professionally, but also help to develop their team skills. In this way, the participants can go through complete development cycles in just two semesters, from the idea to the prototype.

How does that work in practice? Interdisciplinary teams that come from different disciplines work together on solutions, which is very similar to the real work environment in industry. Professors are not only knowledge brokers, but are actively involved in research projects, often in cooperation with companies from the region. Regional partnerships flow into teaching - be it through keynote lectures or practical project tasks. The Kronach location creates ideal conditions for such cooperation with the city administration and local partners, and at the same time promises a high quality of life.

intensive training for future mobility

Another exciting element in the world of autonomous mobility is the three -day training session on autonomous mobility that attracts older and prospective specialists. From May 5 to 7, 2025, this event will take place at the EUREF Campus in Berlin, where a maximum of 15 participants receive intensive insights into current developments in the industry. The course content is diverse and are based on the latest scientific knowledge and practical experience. Interactive workshops, lectures and practical exercises are used here to actively participate in the discussions.

According to Academy-Tu.Berlin, the participants can expect a variety of learning goals, including the analysis of real case studies of European managers or learning future-oriented approaches. The course is divided into different phases, starting with a self -learning phase, followed by virtual sessions and a presence phase in Berlin that comes up with practical content - from technology to security standards to the social effects of autonomous vehicles.

interdisciplinarity as the key to success

Another example of the importance of interdisciplinary work can be found at ETH Zurich, where project -based learning (PBL) has been integrated into the engineering course for five years. Initially, projects focused more on specific specialist areas, but with the increasing experience of the students, they have become much more complex and interdisciplinary today. Here students come together from a wide variety of disciplines and work on challenging projects such as the support of visually impaired people through autonomous robots. This not only ensures a better learning experience, but also optimally prepares the participants for the challenges in their future professions, such as [ethz.ch] (https://ee.ethz.ch/de/news-und-veranstaltungen/d-itet-news-channel/2025/03/thinking-beyond-the-cl Assoom-Five-Years-of-PBL -How-Project-Learning-HAS-Transformed-Engineering-Studies-AT-ETH-ZURICH.HTML) reported.

The master's program "Autonomous Driving" in Kronach is part of this positive development and is constantly looking for new colleagues for project -oriented teaching and applied research. The campus of the Coburg University of Applied Sciences also offers content and structural freedom and scores with affordable living costs and a high quality of life, which makes it particularly attractive to international applicants.

What do you combine in this exciting development? A strong foundation in teaching, practical collaborations and the opportunity to bring your own knowledge into real projects. It remains exciting to see how the industry is developing and what innovations are waiting for us in the future.
