Studying in the Department of Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering offers a diverse range of interdisciplinary courses in these fields. Thanks to the short lines of communication and direct interaction between students and lecturers, you will receive personalised support and benefit from a practical approach to learning. Our application-oriented degree programmes, including Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering, as well as the internationally focused Master's in Mechanical Engineering International (beginning in the summer semester of 2027), combine theory and practice closely. In collaboration with the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, as well as Nursing, Midwifery and Therapy Sciences, we provide exciting interdisciplinary courses that will optimally prepare you for the challenges of the future.

Bachelor's degree programmes
Our Bachelor's degree programmes combine a practical approach with a strong engineering foundation. You can choose from the following study options: full-time (7 semesters), practice-integrated (7 semesters, enrolment possible from the 2027/28 winter semester) or alongside with an apprenticeship (9 semesters).
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Full-time | practice-integrated | alongside with an apprenticeship)
- Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics (Full-time | practice-integrated | alongside with an apprenticeship)
After establishing a solid foundation in the core curriculum, you can flexibly tailor your degree programme within your chosen specialisation. These optional focuses provide targeted preparation for specific career paths.
On the Mechanical Engineering degree programme, you can choose from the following specialisations:
- Design and Development
- Production
- Care Assistance Systems
- Energy and Environmental Engineering
- Internship abroad
In the Mechatronics degree programme, you can specialise in the following areas:
- Smart Production
- Electric Mobility
The Moodle e-learning system serves as the central information platform. All students are required to regularly check the content of the Moodle group "Studieren im Fachbereich M - Durchblick leicht gemacht", as lecturers publish up-to-date information there daily. Furthermore, registration for laboratory courses is organised via Moodle.

Master's degree programmes
Your Bachelor's degree lays the foundations and prepares you for your first professional roles. The Master's programme builds on this, equipping you to tackle complex tasks in practice and research. Our Master's degree programmes therefore build systematically on the knowledge and skills acquired during your Bachelor's degree. They deepen and broaden your knowledge, introducing academic perspectives and enabling targeted specialisation.
Our three-semester Master's programmes can start in either the winter or summer semester and build on Bachelor's programmes. The Master's in Mechanical Engineering focuses on product development and explores AI-supported methods in this context, while the Master's in Mechatronics centres on AI components in products and processes. Both degree programmes emphasise developing an individual academic profile, enabling you to adapt your studies to your specialist interests and career goals.
- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering
- Master's degree in Mechatronics
- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering International (beginning in the summer semester of 2027)
On the Master's programme, face-to-face sessions will take place from Monday to Wednesday in future, leaving Thursday and Friday specifically available for self-study, work, or internships. We deliberately create conditions that enable you to balance your studies with your living expenses and personal commitments flexibly, while also gaining valuable practical experience early on.
