Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The master's programme in Mechanical Engineering builds on basic engineering knowledge with a focus on sustainable product development over four semesters. Students can choose 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.
