About the Program
Robots, smartphones and electric cars: many technical achievements of everyday life are no longer conceivable without the intelligent interaction of mechanics, electronics and information technology. This is a case for mechatronics engineers, whose typical fields of work are research and development, design, production and sales. Those who study mechatronics opt for an interdisciplinary field within engineering that combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. Mechatronics engineers are sought-after employees because, as generalists, they can tackle projects and problems across disciplines. The mechatronics degree course at the University of Kassel is characterized by a high level of practical relevance, which means you will be optimally prepared for the requirements of Industry 4.0. You will also benefit from modern laboratories, numerous support services and intensive supervision by motivated lecturers. A basic internship (6 weeks) should preferably be completed before the degree course and must be completed by the time of registration for the first module examination of the main course at the latest.
