About the Program

The aim of the Mechanical Engineering program is to acquire a broad but at the same time detailed and critical understanding of specialist knowledge. The ability is developed to work independently with scientific methods, to familiarize oneself with the various tasks of the application, research or teaching areas and to cope with the frequently changing tasks of professional life. In terms of content, the master's program builds on the preceding bachelor's program and goes well beyond it in terms of quality. Students acquire the skills to critically question opinions in their field, to solve upcoming problems in a scientifically structured manner considering related disciplines and to creatively develop their field beyond the current state of the art. The program offers four majors: Product Development, Production Engineering, Mobile Systems, and General mechanical engineering.
