Brief description

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

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 an interview.

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering science based on the fundamentals of the classical disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology. It deals with the systematic development and technical implementation of new integrated systems that are characterized by a certain degree of "intelligence" and the resulting ability to act independently. The aim of our training for modern engineers is to impart specialist knowledge and systems thinking, even across disciplinary boundaries, combined with teamwork and communication skills.

The Master's degree program covers the wide range of technical skills required by industry and offers a high degree of flexibility in the choice of subjects. Research-oriented forms of study with close contacts to industry and business are offered.

Why Ilmenau?

Students can specialize in biomechatronics, micromechatronics, mechatronic systems and optomechatronics in the Master's degree course.

Through Ilmenau with Janine and Marcel

Janine and Marcel take you on an exciting tour through the campus of the TU Ilmenau and through Ilmenau itself. They describe how they live and study in Ilmenau, give numerous leisure time tips and insights into the place of study of the Ilmenau University of Technology and take you to hidden places in the city.
