Practical relevance
Graduates of the CVT-Master program should be able to work on the increasingly interdisciplinary areas of application in the Commercial Vehicle sector.
A special regard of the program is paid to the international aspects of the CVT sector: The study program is designed for international and German students (that will have to pass one semester at partner universities abroad) and includes questions of the Commercial Vehicle Industry worldwide.
Admission/Entrance requirements
- Total fees approx.
- 3600 €
The interdisciplinary Master Program Commercial Vehicle Technology is open to qualified graduates with a Bachelor, Diploma or equivalent degree from a renowned university in engineering or computer science or related fields (i.e. Mechatronics, Physics..).
As an international program approx. 50% of the lectures are held in English, thus no knowledge of German is required at the beginning of the studies. For international students, a German Language and Orientation Course is part of the program.
However, for the application, English proficiency has to be proved by TOEFL (213 computer-based, 550 paper-based, 80 internet-based) or other internationally recognized tests.

Organisation
The Graduate School Commercial Vehicle Technology is a Graduate School at the University of Kaiserslautern. The CVT Graduate School fosters the R&D cooperation in the field of commercial vehicle technology by a new educational concept. It is striving to achieve excellence in CVT by qualifying Master and doctoral students in close cooperation with industry. Education and research on CVT topics will integrate all important fields within the product lifecycle of commercial vehicles, such as power train, vehicle design, vehicle system dynamics, materials, joining technology, production technology, information technology as well as humanmachine-interaction, sociological aspects and key competencies into the CVT school.The Master Program CVT will be part of the Graduate School CVT. The Graduate School CVT also offers doctoral research training options in the participating engineering disciplines.
Studying in Kaiserlautern
The University of Kaiserslautern is part of an excellent research environment closely cooperating with national and international industry, the "Science Alliance Kaiserslautern", i.e.: Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering in Kaiserslautern.
The CVT programme is embedded in the newly established "Graduate School Commercial Vehicle Technology" that fosters Research & Development in the field of commercial vehicle technology.
A concentration of manufacturing plants and suppliers in the field of Commercial Vehicles is found especially in the southwest of the country, where Kaiserslautern is located. In cooperation with qualification agents and researchers, these enterprises have established a communication and cooperation platform, the Commercial Vehicle Cluster.
Together with the Daimler Company and the Ministry of Economics of Rhineland-Palatinate, the University of Kaiserslautern is one of the founding members of the cluster.
The city of Kaiserslautern offers a unique mixture of hightech and unspoiled nature, history and progress that contribute to make it an international and, at the same time, a typical, traditional, friendly German city.
