Mechanical Engineering (M.Sc.)

The degree course is consecutive and builds on the Bachelor's degree course in Mechanical Engineering.

Anyone who has successfully completed such a Bachelor's degree or a related Bachelor's degree with a standard period of study of at least six semesters and has earned at least 180 credit points (CP) can be admitted to the course. Subject-specific aptitude is determined on the basis of the documents to be submitted and, if necessary, in a personal interview.

The Master's degree program in Mechanical Engineering builds on a broad education in the natural sciences and engineering fundamentals and expands this with a specific profile of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. This profile is focused in teaching and research on the fields of precision engineering, mechatronics, optics and lighting technology, measurement, sensor and drive technology, micro and precision machining, microsystems technology, nanotechnology, design engineering, the development of CAD solutions for the design and production of stationary and mobile systems, factory operation, human-machine interaction, ergonomics, environmentally friendly production and materials technology and thermodynamics.

Building on a broad basic education in engineering technology, the Master's degree course focuses on components and systems in mechanical engineering in which the above-mentioned specifics and information technology content are essential components. Research geared towards the use and further development of state-of-the-art technologies in conjunction with a theoretical and practical mechanical engineering education describes the special profile.
