Course objectives

The aim is to train students in the multidisciplinary field of mechatronics. Therefore, the study programme consists of about 25% basic skills (mathematics, physics), 25% electrically oriented skills, 25% mechanical skills, and 25% information technologies. Various laboratory projects and a voluntary internship provide the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge.

Language requirements

Applicants must provide proof of their English skills.

Academic requirements

The requirement for participation in the Master's course is a BSc in mechatronics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering.
All applicants for the Master's course must attend an entrance test (written examination and selection interview).

Enrolment fees

Unless otherwise noted by the faculty, on enrolment, students have to pay approx. 370 EUR as an administrative fee including a semester ticket (public transport costs).
