- Description/content
- In the first semester (MM1), the students' curriculum varies depending on their first degree. The main purpose of semester MM1 is to balance out differences in skills and knowledge resulting from students' previous programmes. Therefore, individual course programmes and timetables are compiled for each student.
The second semester (MM2) covers specific mechatronics-related subjects such as robotics, control design as well as laboratory training. In addition, the students have to carry out a scientific project in an international team. This project aims to consolidate the students' theoretical knowledge and to enhance their ability to put theory into practice. Undertaken in international teams, the project also furthers intercultural skills, which are considered to be an essential aspect of the programme as a whole.
The third semester (MM3) is mainly dedicated to the Master's thesis. Due to the international orientation of the programme, international students should complete their thesis in Germany. It must be written in the English language and presented publicly at the university. The Master's thesis can be done either at the RWU, at a partner university abroad or – if the project allows – at a company or a research institute.
