Leibniz Universität Hannover Hannover · Lower Saxony Location: Hanover

About the Program

Mechatronics involves exploring the interdisciplinary interaction between the disciplines of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science for the purpose of developing technical systems. In the Master's degree programme, students learn the key principles and techniques required to conduct the function-oriented analysis. They are also given a description of the main operating principles of the components for the synthesis of such systems. Mechatronic systems are understood to mean the totality of subsystems such as the basic system (usually mechanical), actuators, sensors, processors and real-time data processing. This fundamental assessment of mechatronic systems is supplemented by mathematical description (dynamics and kinematics), regulation and the application-oriented adaptation of robots. In addition, it includes the examination of stationary and mobile robots as well as the associated methods of path and route planning. The study programme also offers the English-language study track AI-driven Mechatronics and Robotics.
