Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Mechanical engineering deals with issues relating to the development, production and operation of machines, systems and vehicles. In particular, the programme focuses on design and calculation as well as the underlying mechanics, electrical drive technology and automation. In addition, there are industry-specific programmes such as electromobility, machines for raw materials processing and extraction as well as cross-industry programmes such as simulation and additive manufacturing. The Bachelor's degree provides students with a first professional qualification, though continuing to the consecutive Master's degree programme is recommended. Please note that the Bachelor's degree programme in Mechanical Engineering is not an independent degree programme, but one of six possible sub-degree programmes of the innovative Bachelor's degree programme in Engineering.
