Frequently searched
Are you interested in the technology of autonomous and automated driving? This is unthinkable without safety. Because vehicle systems, from the individual control unit to the complete vehicle, are becoming more and more complex. That is why the automotive industry is looking for engineers with safety knowledge to cope with this enormous technological complexity. This academic course in cooperation with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (TU Budapest) deals with safety and systems engineering, risk management, project and process management, automotive-specific framework conditions as well as norms and standards, in particular the standard ISO 26262.

FH Campus Wien has been successfully providing practice-oriented training and further education in the field of functional safety and system safety since 2010. With the academic course Functional Safety for Automotive ISO 26262, newly developed in cooperation with TU Budapest, we are closing a gap the educational landscape.
In accordance with our guiding principle of research-led teaching, FH Campus Wien brings the results from research in the area of safety and the expertise in the automotive sector from TU Budapest directly into the teaching. The result is a unique academic, internationally oriented education and training. We offer you the chance to be a pioneer without having to break completely new ground. Because the need for safety has long been recognized, especially in the Anglo-American region, and it is on the rise in our region as well. Our partnerships with well-known companies such as TÜV Austria GmbH, Thyssen Krupp Presta Hungary Kft., Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems Research and Development Center Hungary Kft., Siemens AG, ZKW Elektronik GmbH, Tele Haase Steuergeräte GmbH, as well as small and medium-sized companies such as TeLo GmbH and Oberaigner Powertrain GmbH, to name just a few, are proof of the successful transfer of know-how with the industry.
As a student, you are integrated into a cross-industry and international “safety network” and use these valuable contacts to exchange experiences. The part-time organizational form will assist you in coordinating your job and your studies.
In addition, as a graduate, you can enter the Master Degree Program for Safety and Systems Engineering and expand your knowledge of system security for other industries.
The Vienna Institute for Safety & Systems Engineering (VISSE) at FH Campus Wien is a pioneer in the field of safety among Central European universities. The VISSE operates as a knowledge platform and brings together university research, teaching and business practice via the academic course.
The Department of Automotive Technologies at TU Budapest covers the entire area of autonomous vehicle control, including perception of the environment, decision-making and execution.Tests and simulations are the focus of their research and teaching activities. Accordingly, the degree program builds on research experience and examples and presents widely used simulation and test methods.
ZalaZONE, the Zalaegerszeg test track is unique, the traditional test track features focusing on driving and driving stability are implemented together with the research and development infrastructure elements connection with future vehicles on multi-level system for validation. The proving ground provides not only dynamics tests for conventional vehicle, but it also allows validation tests for autonomous vehicles and electric vehicles.
The experts from VISSE and the Department of Automotive Technologies of TU Budapest are also lecturers in the new academic course Functional Safety for Automotive ISO 26262. This gives you as a student the unique
In the course, you will explore the following subject areas:
In the second semester you will write your scientific paper.
The focus of the education and training is an interdisciplinary way of thinking, in which the interactions between the individual disciplines are particularly emphasized. The module “Principles in Safety & Systems Engineering” forms the foundation of the academic course. This is built upon by the modules “Project and Process Management” and “Safety and Risk Management”, which are closely linked to one another. The module “Safety Advanced” combines theoretical knowledge on the one hand with practical experience, which is illustrated in the “Practice Transfer” module, and on the other hand with “Automotive Technologies and Testing”.
