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."
