MASTER’S PROGRAMME AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING Automotive Engineering Master at Chalmers A Natural Choice! The ever-increasing requirements of high quality mobility and safe transportation of people and goods make the automotive industry a necessity in our society. Global warming, environmental challenges and the vision of zero accidents push for innovations from an holistic view, therefore the need for skilled Automotive Engineers is immense. The Automotive Engineering Master’s Programme at Chalmers has the potential to provide you with the possibilities and knowledge to develop future technologies for a sustainable mobile society. Wheel Suspension AIMS and these are carried out as real-case CERC, and Safety, SAFER, VTI and SHC, Automotive Engineering provides a solid studies, or similar, with aid of industrial the Swedish Hybrid Centre.
