About the Program

The Master's program in Mechanical Engineering builds on the engineering foundations acquired in the Bachelor's program and offers diverse specialization opportunities. It broadens and deepens technical knowledge, enables independent scientific work, lays the groundwork for further development in the field, and prepares students for doctoral studies. Students can combine two out of 14 specialization areas for their individual focus, which serve as the basis for developing topics for study and master's thesis. The program qualifies graduates particularly for independent and leadership positions. They are characterized by their ability to work scientifically, their proximity to research, independence, and judgment and decision-making abilities. Mechanical engineers often have system responsibility in the interdisciplinary development of new products in machinery, plant, and vehicle construction. Due to these broad fields of activity, there is a continuing and increasing future demand for scientifically trained mechanical engineers.
