Safety engineering
SAFE TECHNOLOGY FOR A SAFE WORLD
Constantly increasing demands on modern technology mean that traditional proofs of safety, quality and reliability are reaching their limits. For example, cars, rail vehicles, aeroplanes, machines, production plants, computers and robots today have a significantly higher level of functionality than their predecessor generations. Safety engineering opens up new possibilities for designing, evaluating and assessing modern technologies safely and reliably for people and the environment.

What our graduates say
"During our studies, we developed technical solutions to questions of safety for people and the environment. A wide range of specialisations were possible in elective subjects. Today, I also pursue my interest in software in my job. Testing memories and programmable safety controllers for industrial systems is my personal highlight. I apply a lot of what I learnt during my studies in the varied, international projects. The course content provides a good and versatile basis for developing specific skills."
Tobias Timm, 2022
"The Safety Engineering degree programme is quite unique. The degree programme combines reliability engineering, functional safety and people & technology and provides a broad range of specialist knowledge in the fields of safety engineering, natural sciences and technical and mathematical principles. This opens up a wide range of opportunities for graduates in the world of work. Students benefit from close dialogue with the professors. The Mülheim campus is well connected to the Ruhr region and easily accessible."
