Especially in engineering sciences, it is particularly important to first acquire a solid and generally valid basis in order to be able to understand practical applications later on and to actively shape processes.

For this reason, we teach you the most important fundamentals from the fields of mathematics, science and engineering in the first four semesters.

You will acquire the technical fundamentals of mechanical engineering in its complete breadth from design engineering, mechanics and materials to computer science and thermodynamics to control engineering and measurement technology.

From the fifth semester on: Developing an individual profile

From the fifth semester on, a specialization is to be chosen. Within the specializations, you have the chance to develop an independent and unique profile through numerous options, without limiting yourself:

• Energy and process engineering
• Machine and automation technology
• Materials and microengineering

You can read more about the individual areas of specialization under “Specializations”.

Laboratory internships help you to apply your theoretical knowledge in practice. This in-depth understanding is particularly important for future work in developing new solutions and products for customers.

Build sales, product, and service management skills from the first semester through the seventh semester

In parallel, you will acquire skills in the field of sales, product and service management from the first to the seventh semester. Competencies, such as management qualifications, knowledge of corporate and employee management, and basic commercial knowledge are acquired.

This is necessary because the handling of direct customer contacts in the presales, sales and aftersales area is one of the main areas of the daily work of our future graduates.
