International Mechatronics

International Mechatronics at Leibniz University Hannover offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary education that combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and automation technology. The program is designed to prepare students for the demanding challenges of modern technology development and industrial automation. Students will gain a solid foundation in core engineering principles, including mechanics, electronics, control systems, and programming, complemented by specialized knowledge in robotics, sensor technology, embedded systems, and data communication. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory work, project-based assignments, and internships, fostering practical skills and problem-solving abilities essential for the industry. The program encourages a global perspective by integrating international perspectives and collaborations, preparing graduates for careers in multinational companies, research, and development, or entrepreneurial ventures. Instruction is primarily in English, facilitating effective communication in the international workplace and enhancing students' language skills. Leibniz University Hannover's state-of-the-art facilities and close cooperation with industry partners provide students with excellent opportunities for internships, research projects, and real-world application of their knowledge. Graduates of the International Mechatronics program will be equipped to develop innovative solutions for complex engineering problems, contribute to advancements in automation and robotics, and excel in dynamic technological environments.
