About the Program
The Master's programme in Mechanical Engineering at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg follows on seamlessly from the orientation of the Bachelor's programme in Mechanical Engineering, but also enables career changers to study in a way that makes them fit for the technological world of tomorrow. The programme focuses on the transformation from fossil to renewable energy sources and the transition from analogue to digital data and processes. The content and form of the degree programme have been aligned with the requirements of digitalised mechanical engineering and allow for independent study with maximum freedom of choice. New or revised focal points allow concentration on selected subject areas geared to the future development of mechanical engineering. The implementation of a one-year study project parallel to the modules ensures the necessary sustainable transfer of knowledge and skills, which ensures a successful transition into an industrial or SME job or even a doctorate.
