About the Program

This is a Master of Science program in Mechanical Engineering/Mechatronics with special features including project-based learning, application-oriented or research-oriented profile, innovative structure with compulsory elective modules only, and individual selection of modules. The program is interdisciplinary with joint teaching conducted by up to three professors per module. It offers flexible start dates in either October or March, is international in nature, and takes three semesters to complete. The program has a flexible study model allowing part-time, dual, and part-time studies alongside a job. The structure reflects the view that students should decide what completes their profile, so there are no compulsory modules, only compulsory elective modules. Students choose 60 ECTS individually from the available module catalogue of both English-language and German-language modules. The Master's thesis (30 ECTS) completes the degree. The program can be completed as application-oriented or research-oriented if at least 30 ECTS are earned in R&D modules and the Master's thesis is research-oriented. A double degree option is available with Högskolan Väst (University West) in Trollhättan, Sweden.
