Course description

The study programme builds on a solid foundation in mechanics, the core discipline of mechanical engineering. This foundation enables both in-depth exploration and broad study across various mechanical engineering fields. With elective modules, you can grow and develop according to your specific interests. This strong base in mechanical engineering, combined with your chosen electives, helps you shape a unique, interdisciplinary profile. The programme's strong research focus completes the innovative syllabus. All courses are taught in English, preparing you for a global career without language barriers. This is also crucial for international double degree programmes currently being developed. During this master's programme, you gain fundamental and methodical skills in a wide range of mechanics topics. You master modern simulation tools and develop a deep understanding of measurement technology. The programme allows you to specialise based on your interests: you can deepen your mechanics expertise or broaden your knowledge in areas like energy or industrial engineering.
