Mechatronics (Master of Science)

The interdisciplinary master‘s programme in Mechatronics expands basic engineering knowledge in an international environment in the fields of mechanical, electrical engineering and computer science over three semesters.

Practical activities with modern modelling and simulation tools and the methodical application in laboratories deepen the theoretical knowledge aquired. An extensive catalogue of core electives with modules such as Mechatronic Vehicle Systems, Safety in Industrial Automation and Machine Learning enables students to specialise in their chosen field. In research projects, students work independently and systematically on practical and academic issues thus expanding their scientific-critical thinking skills. Additionally, students aquire profound management and teamwork skills.

State-of-the-art laboratories, numerous industry contacts and the EUT+ university alliance offer ideal study conditions. A dual study programme with vocational and academic elements as well as a part-time programme alongside work are available.

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

The master’s degree 

• qualifies graduates for higher civil service positions,
• provides an opportunity to pursue a doctorate, and
• qualifies graduates e.g. for positions in research and development, in production, sales and product management, and management consulting 

in the following industries (selection):

• machine, plant and automotive engineering,
• electrical engineering and automation,
• information and entertainment technology,
• aerospace technology,
• chemical and process engineering,
• energy and environmental technology

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

Admission for the master’s programme is granted to candidates having obtained a first degree in one of the fields of mechatronics, mechanical or electrical engineering with an overall grade of 2.5 or better. English language skills are required. In special cases, the Examination Board will decide on admission individually.

The regular start of the programme is the winter or summer semester.

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