What is a CAS?
A Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) is a focused qualification that equips professionals with expertise in a specific field. Delivered in a four-step format, each with 3-4 days of intensive learning, it blends practical experience with industry insights for rapid knowledge integration.
Developed by top experts from academia and industry, HECTOR School CAS programs cover systems engineering, e-mobility, and automated driving, offering hands-on learning and access to cutting-edge mobility research at KIT in Karlsruhe.
Flexible and impactful, a CAS deepens expertise, expands career opportunities, and addresses emerging industry challenges.

Outlook and Related Trainings
HECTOR School currently offers three different CAS programs.
Participants have the option to complete several CAS and thus gain a Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS), a postgraduate qualification that provides in-depth expertise, hands-on experience, and industry insights in a specific field. For companies, a DAS helps upskill employees and prepare them for new domains, equipping them with essential knowledge for today’s evolving industry.
The DAS Mobility Systems Engineering comprises three main components:
- Core module (10 ECTS): CAS on Systems and Software Engineering
- Elective module (10 ECTS): participants can choose between:
- CAS on E-Mobility Systems and Technology
- CAS on Methods and Technologies of Automated Driving
- Practical thesis that addresses a challenge or opportunity within the participant's organization or industry.
