About the Program

The English-taught study programme Mechatronics and Automation (MAP) addresses students of all nationalities, offering an ideal opportunity to get to know "technology made in Germany."

Combining elements from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, this programme enables students to enhance technical systems' performance during their development and production. In addition, they will learn how to bring complex technical systems into operation, to service and optimise them. During the work terms, students will apply their theoretical knowledge to current tasks in the company. To round off the training, strong project management skills and successful teamwork, also in international teams, are imparted. Students enrolled in the work-integrated study programme are at the same time employed by a company in Germany or abroad throughout the entire duration of their studies, which is the peculiarity of the work-integrated programme.
