- Description/content
- The degree course is consecutive, building upon the Bachelor's degree course in Mechatronics. Mechatronics, a multidisciplinary field of engineering science, is based on the principles of classical disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and information technology. It deals with the systematic development and technical implementation of new integrated systems characterised by a certain level of "intelligence" and the resultant capability to act independently. Our training for modern engineers aims to impart specialised knowledge and foster systems thinking, transcending disciplinary boundaries, while emphasising teamwork and communication skills.
The Master's degree programme covers the wide range of technical skills required by industry and offers a high degree of flexibility in subject selection. It offers research-oriented study formats with close ties to industry and business.
