Mechatronics (Bachelor's degree)

The world of mechatronics encompasses many areas, such as 3D printing, driver assistance systems, Industry 4.0 and autonomous robots. The common thread is the development of intelligent networked systems with mechanical and electronic components.

The bachelor‘s programme in Mechatronics lies at the interface of mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as computer science. It enables students to understand, design and implement complex systems according to requirements. Over seven semesters, students acquire comprehensive basic engineering knowledge, which they put to practical use in project work and laboratory phases from the first semester onwards. Specialisation is offered in the fields of drive technology, automation and robotics. Furthermore, language skills and team qualifications are taught.

Optional preliminary courses and the Study Programme+ facilitate entry. The first year of study is closely interlinked with the Mechanical Engineering and Polymer Engineering study programmes, so that a change is possible. The EUT+ university alliance and established non-European partnerships offer a wide variety of study abroad opportunities.

More detailed information about the study programme can be found on the website of the Faculty of Mechanical and Plastics Engineering (German).
