The main studies broaden the basic knowledge from the basic studies and teach a broad range of specific subjects. Lectures are complemented by practical exercises in our state-of-the-art laboratories.

  • Specialisations and technical electives (lectures and labs)
  • Control systems and metrology
    -Sensors
    -Signals and systems
    -Control technology
    -Control technology lab
  • Mechatronic Engineering
    -Manufacturing Technology
    -Engineering Design
    -Microcontrollers
  • Data Science

    -Mechanics of materials
    -Machine elements
  • Introduction to AI

The new knowledge and skills will be applied in the practice semester where all students work independently on engineering tasks in an industrial firm.

  • Practical experience
  • work in an industrial enterprise
  • get to know different specific engineering tasks
  • independent work
  • realistic working conditions
  • networking with experienced engineers
  • salary
  • also possible abroad

In the last study phase, you have considerable freedom to specialise in certain key topics that you have worked on in your internship. In addition, you can choose from a range of courses in other engineering programmes.
Finally, you will also get an insight into business studies and enhance your social competences.

  • Specialisations and technical electives (lectures and labs like AI, Mechatronics or Automotive)
  • student research project
  • Reinforcement Learning
  • Industrial Internet of Things
  • Interdisciplinary competences

The last part of your studies consists of the Bachelor thesis. This will be a project at the university or in cooperation with a company that is planned, organised and implemented independently by each student.

Master's programme: The completion of your bachelor's degree allows you to start your career or, alternatively, to continue your studies in our master's programme.

Doctorate: Upon completion of your Master's degree, you will also have the opportunity to pursue a doctorate within the framework of university cooperations.
