Czech Technical University of Prague

Programme overview

This two‑year follow‑up master’s leads to diplomas issued by institutions in two European countries and is coordinated by the Department of Automobiles, Internal Combustion Engines and Rail Vehicles. The first year is a shared multidisciplinary curriculum taught at one of three partner schools (ČVUT Prague, ENSTA Bretagne, HAN Arnhem); the second year is taken as a specialised track at a partner institution in France, the Netherlands or at ČVUT Prague.

What you'll study

Core and specialist teaching deepens theoretical and practical engineering foundations necessary for vehicle systems design and development. Topics and study modes explicitly mentioned in the programme materials include:

• Vehicle construction, manufacturing technology specific to vehicles, marketing and management in the first two semesters.
• Specialisations: Vehicle Dynamics and Clean Driveline Control Systems (HAN Arnhem, English); Design of Vehicles / Architecture des véhicules (ENSTA Bretagne, French); Computation and Modelisation / Calculs et Modélisation (ENSTA Bretagne, French); Advanced Powertrains (ČVUT Prague, English).
• Technical subjects expanded across tracks: thermomechanics, fluid mechanics, solid and deformable body mechanics, electronics, simulation and finite‑element modelling, engine cycle simulation, turbocharging and cooling, and CAD/strength calculations.
• Laboratory and project practice, including guided industrial placement during which the student prepares the diploma thesis.
• Languages: students who study the first year at ČVUT Prague receive intensive French language instruction by native teachers at the French embassy’s cultural institute or may choose other languages taught by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering language department.

Entry requirements

The programme requires completion of a bachelor’s degree. Further details about the admission procedure, application and examination topics are provided by the faculty’s admissions information pages.

Career prospects

Graduates are trained to conduct and lead vehicle research, development and design projects. The programme emphasises competencies that prepare alumni for roles in R&D and design departments of car manufacturers, engineering consultancies, or as technical teachers at vocational and technical schools internationally.
