Automation & IT: Interdisciplinary and International
Since information technology and automation are gradually becoming one single field of knowledge, the Master's program in Automation & IT was launched at Cologne University of Applied Sciences. It is an interdisciplinary program tailored to students with prior knowledge in the field. The language of instruction is English, fostering the students' individual competency development just as much as the intercultural exchange with students from Asia or the Americas.
