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.

“Chalmers – for a sustainable future is a vision which
exudes the long-term approach, the acceptance of re-
sponsibility and the trust I feel is worthy of Chalmers.
At the same time, it is obvious that this vision has to be
shared by many and that Chalmers has to co-operate
across disciplines in order to promote the whole of
society’s commitment to our future.”
Karin Markides, president
