Mechatronics & Robotics (B.Eng.)

Bachelor Mechatronics & Robotics (B.Eng.)

Mechatronics and robotics are two important key technologies for the upcoming digital revolution in economy, science, society and public administration. Mechatronics bases on three engineering sciences: mechanical, electrical and software engineering. They are the basic components of Industry 4.0 and thus play a decisive role in determining the manufacturing and production processes of the digital future.

The Bachelor's programme in Mechatronics and Robotics is a seven-semester, full-time course programme with a high proportion of practical training. It is modularized and accredited according to current standards. The workload is 210 ECTS credit points. The degree qualifies you for a job as engineer in european industry. After graduation a continuation of study in a consecutive master's course programme of three semesters is possible.

If you are applying from a country outside the EU and prove a university entrance qualification from your home country, you can qualify for further studies by passing probationary studies within the first two semesters.

Another focus of education in addition to engineering training is the foreign and technical language German, including application training for employment in industry.

At the beginning of the third semester you can assign to one of the two specialization subjects: mechanical or electrical engineering. Accordingly, you can choose your elective subjects and the topics of your industrial internship and bachelor's thesis.

Course of Studies and Contents

The course programme consists of three main periods: five semesters of face-to-face education, engineering internship of 6 month and bachelor thesis of 3 month. The study starts with lectures, exercises and lab exercises with focus on mechanical and electrical engineering, computer programming, german language and robotics lab exercises. The scope per semester is six subjects including six examinations at the end of each semester. During the first two semesters are offered obligatory subjects only. From the third semester you can also take part in elective courses.

The educational training in the basic course period bases on the standards of engineering training in Germany for mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. Here you will learn the basics of design and product development, the basics of electrical engineering and electronic circuit development and a lot about technical physics, mechanics and computers. In the higher semesters there are specialized teaching units for robotics, the use of robots in production and applications of artificial intelligence and robot vision. The training is rounded off with elements from manufacturing technology, quality management and enterprise logistics.
