General Information:
Mechanical Engineering is not only concerned with development, design and optimization. It also means getting others excited about your ideas. That’s why the programme combines engineering and business skills. Skills that enable you to take on a leadership role in a technology-oriented company. A compulsory work placement and practical project work in the University’s modern state-of-the-art laboratories ensure that theoretical knowledge can be put into practice right from the start. It also allows sufficient flexibility for further specialisation in areas of individual interest, such as Automotive Engineering, Laser Technology, Production Engineering or Polymer Technology.
