As subject knowledge, the MSEM embraces four major areas:

Finally, the third and last semester is dedicated to the Master's colloquium and thesis in which the students focus on a specific topic guided by one of our professors and/or a company. The students have to consult relevant secondary literature research which demonstrates the state-of-the-art and have to find and implement a solution for the outlined problem.
