Continue studying in a variety of ways

The Master's program in Mechanical Engineering builds on your Bachelor's or Diploma degree and takes you further in this versatile discipline. The program provides you with comprehensive technical and methodological cross-disciplinary qualifications that qualify you for various fields such as materials development, machine design, or plant planning.

Two new specializations—Integrated Engineering and Integrated Energy Systems—allow you to deepen your knowledge in a specific area with four specialized modules each. You will also learn to critically evaluate scientific findings and independently apply engineering methods.

Your gateway to industry, skilled trades, and public service

The tasks of mechanical engineering are diverse and range from the development of modern materials and the design of new production facilities to the development of mechatronic systems. With their expertise and commitment, mechanical engineers give new impetus to the economy. The master's program opens up access to many areas of industry, increasingly at an international level: English-language courses prepare you specifically for globally networked fields of work. A complete semester program in English is offered in the winter semester for international students and visiting students. Current topics such as climate change management are also incorporated into the curriculum.

Study full-time or part-time while working

You can study the Master's program in Mechanical Engineering either full-time over four semesters in our evening classes or part-time over six semesters. During your studies, you will deepen and expand your existing specialist knowledge from a relevant Bachelor's program. All information on enrollment and dates can be found here.
