Mechanical Engineering (Master of Science)

The master’s programme in Mechanical Engineering builds on basic engineering knowledge with a focus on sustainable product development over four semesters. Students can follow their individual interests by choos­ing modules from a wide range of core electives, e.g. Eco-Design, Regenerative Energy Conversion, Statistical Methods/AI or Process Control.

Practical activities in laboratories, on machines and with modern modelling and simulation tools comple­ment theoretical knowledge in an application-oriented manner. In scientific project work, students contrib­ute independently to current research topics, training their skills in methodical work and critical thinking in scientific contexts and with interdisciplinary references. Furthermore, the programme imparts leadership and teamwork skills.

Numerous industry contacts and the EUT+ university alliance ensure practical relevance, up-to-date content and international networking. A dual study programme with vocational and academic elements as well as a part-time programme alongside work are available.

You can find more detailed information about the study programme on the website of the Faculty of Mechanical and Plastics Engineering (German).

Industries (selection): 

• mechanical and electrical engineering 
• plant engineering 
• automotive engineering 
• medical and environmental technology

The Master‘s degree provides an opportunity to pursue a doctorate and qualifies graduates for higher civil service positions. 

Admission to the master’s programme is granted to candidates having obtained a first degree in a technical engineering subject (bachelor’s degree or diploma, e.g. in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, Polymer Engineering, etc.) with an overall grade of “good”. In special cases, the Examination Board will decide on admission individually. 

The programme usually starts in the winter semester. A start in the summer semester is also possible. 

A detailed description of the admission requirements can be found in the Special Provisions of the Examination Regulations (German).
